Workshop Background:

This will be the IWPC's 34th workshop on wireless portable and mobile device topics since 1998.

 

LTE is fast becoming the future high speed mobile wireless network.  There are many challenges facing the carriers, mobile handset, data device and embedded device industries to maximize the benefit to the enterprise and consumer customer and to create profits for the carriers and the supply chain.

 

The big question that everyone is asking - what will these new devices be used for?  What will the enterprise and consumer do with all this additional speed and bandwidth?

 

And given all of these new and exciting LTE user experiences - the LTE Devices must not run out of battery power before the user expects it to.  The user MUST have a great LTE experience, otherwise, the device will not be used and all of the investments made by everyone will not pay off.

 

Consequently - device power management for these complex multi band/multi mode devices looms as one of the most important technical and business challenges facing our industry.

 

Workshop Goals:

LTE Device Week is designed to answer 3 questions:

• Identify or clarify Use Cases, Uses and Usage Profiles of LTE Devices.
   

• Identify what device power management prediction models are available or will be available. And/or – what is needed from the industry to develop same?
   

• Identify current and future technology solutions for power management – in all of the device functional blocks. (from antennas to displays and everything in-between)

By bringing together the entire wireless industry hardware and software supply chain in one room at one time, we hope to address these questions and arrive at some clarity.
