IWPC Handset Power Management Workshop

NEW – International Wireless Industry Consortium
Interactive Technical Workshop

Workshop Background: This workshop is designed to look at ALL facets of power sources and power consumption in the handset – from future operator requirements to the various use-cases to an examination of every handset functional block that uses or provides power. The IWPC has held 14 workshops related to handset technology over the years, and consistently our members express strong interest in meetings focused on the efficient use of power within handset electronics. In our Future SmartPhone Power Management workshop, May 2004, Verizon Wireless introduced the idea of Handset Autonomy--which describes the operating time for a handset before a re-charge is necessary. For the past three years this has become a major focus area for the IWPC, with focused workshops and a separate collaborative group known as the Handset Autonomy Model Working Group. For this workshop, Vodafone and Verizon Wireless have expressed interest in learning about the latest trends in Handset power management in all of the functional blocks of a multi-mode, multi-band handset.
Workshop Goals: To have a better understanding of what consumes current in a multi-mode, multi-band handset. What needs to be modified and what technologies need to be developed to increase the customer experience - standby/talk/data time and increase Operator ARPU?

1:00 PM	Non-50 Ohm RF Chain Matching Working Group Meeting Determine organization of working group Set common goals Nominate lead members for key roles Group leaders will be asked to write and present a short position statement or list of questions for each of the Handset RF Chain blocks, namely: PAs Transceiver interface Filter/Duplexer Switch Antenna Test – component test in design Test – finished system test Non 50-Ohm Matching Project During the IWPC's Handset Antenna Technologies workshop, January 2007, it was desired to set up a working group to ascertain if using non 50-ohm matching in the RF chain would result in increased PA efficiency, increased RF gain, reduced size, reduced weight and reduced cost of handsets. A Working Group was set up to develop an industry wide agreement on the benefits and ways and means to accomplish this.
