Introduction
Spectrum is a finite resource, so if it can be exploited, mmWave offers much promise for future cellular networks. Until now, increasing performance has relied on increasing spectral efficiency by using OFDM, MIMO, efficient channel coding, and interference coordination, however, increased spectral efficiency is not enough to guarantee high per-user data rates, so Millimeter wave (mmWave) cellular systems, operating in the 10-300GHz band are being researched in order to deliver multiple gigabit-per-second data rates. Enabling mmWave cellular systems is not as simple in practice, as free-space path loss is much larger in mmWave due to the higher carrier frequency, scattering is less significant which reduce the available diversity, and non-line-of-sight paths are weaker making blockage and coverage holes more pronounced.
Workshop Goals
- Evaluate the coverage and capacity limitations of mmWave systems
- Understand which use-cases will effectively exploit mmWave technologies
- Explore pre-standards proposals, trials and deployments
- Assess routes and roadmaps to achieving global standards based systems
- Understand the importance of mmWave in future 5G networks

- What can I do to prepare for speaking an at IWPC workshop?
Click on the link below for a short video guide regarding preparing for and improving your IWPC presentation:
- Who are the attendees?
- We do not permit the Press.
- We do not permit Analysts.
- We do not permit Consultants.
- We do not permit 3rd party sales reps.
- We only permit "first hand knowledge experts" in business and technology issues, prepared to contribute to the discussion.
- What are the costs/registrations fees?
ALL Hosts, Speakers, Panel Members and Attendees will be asked to cover out-of-pocket workshop costs such as conference room costs, food (Social Reception plus First Day breakfast/lunch/dinner plus Second Day breakfast/lunch plus Breaks), audio/visual costs, etc.
These costs will be $989 (USD) per person. (For IWPC Members only.)
ALL Hosts, Speakers, Panel Members and Attendees will be asked to pay this fee in advance with either Visa, MasterCard, American Express, cash, personal check or business check. Make checks payable to IWPC.

- Will business cards be collected?
Business cards will be collected at the door from all attendees. We will make copies of these cards, which will be available to all who provided a business card.
- What is the dress code?
Business casual suggested. No ties, please!
- How will handout materials be provided?
For ALL IWPC members:
All IWPC members are invited to submit materials to be included in the online workshop folder in the IWPC Research Library. This should NOT BE SALES MATERIALS. Rather, we suggest it contain technical information about your technology as it relates to the workshop topics.
For all companies who will be making a presentation at the Workshop:
You are invited to submit an advance copy of your presentation, complete with graphics and illustrations.
These materials will be included on the IWPC website Research Library.
Please submit these materials either by email, as a Word for Windows file, Power Point files or PDF files.
