Workshop Background
There are already many different wireless links and subsystems communicating within, as well as into and out of automobiles. The automobile is becoming and will become even more a significant element of our personal, family and business voice and data communications center.
As the move to high data rate data services and entertainment takes place within homes and offices, alternative approaches are being explored and considered by the auto sector to interface with them.
Two important categories of alternatives are being considered. One is the mobile communications industry 3G+ solutions (i.e. 802.16e, 802.20, UMTSx, CDMAx, MediaFlo, HSDPAx, Proprietary Bands, etc.) which will build on existing infrastruture.
The second is the possible use of government sponsored Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) and Continuous Communications Air Interface for Long and Medium Range (CALM) systems being planned in North America and in Europe using dedicated frequency bands and with the primary purpose being for safety and security applications.
This workshop will focus on 2 of these alternatives. Among the many questions which need to be addressed are:
