Seminar: Challenges and Opportunities for the Cellular Industry

Electrical and Computer Engineering
Lecture / Panel
 
For NYU Community
Brooklyn Bridge

Speaker: Professor David Goodman

Abstract

Data services are rapidly overtaking voice as the dominant consumer of cellular bandwidth. Anticipating this situation for almost twenty years, industry has created successive generations of transmission technology (2.5G, 3G, 4G, etc.) Nevertheless, the demand for data throughput is growing faster than the supply and will continue to do so.

This talk will speculate on how industry and the research community can transform this situation from a challenge to an opportunity to deliver the full potential of the future wireless Internet.
