MTWS 2009 - The first International Workshop on Multi-Gigabit MM-Wave and Tera-Hz Wireless Systems (MTWS2009)

The first International Workshop on Multi-Gigabit MM-Wave and Tera-Hz
Wireless Systems (MTWS2009)



Workshop held in conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2009

November 30 - December 4, 2009

Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

Workshop website: http://commsys.korea.ac.kr/workshop/



The scope of the workshop is to provide a platform for developing an
integrated solution to millimeter wave and Tera-Hz wireless communications.
The areas of millimeter wave and higher frequency communication are being
investigated by several related, yet isolated groups, including experts in
circuits, antennas, mixed-signal, physical layer, and medium access control
techniques. To realize the goals of millimeter and Tera-Hz Wireless Systems
(MTWS), however, requires a cohesive approach that brings together experts
in each area. This workshop intends to select, from the submissions, a small
set of papers discussing novel ideas that should not only analyze the issues
in MTWS but also incorporate a clear direction towards the implementation of
these MTWS. This workshop will bring together researchers, practitioners and
the early proponents of MTWS. This workshop will also be planned so as to
allow more interactions amongst the participants rather than a conference
would allow. The workshop also aims to bring in together both long-term
academic and shorter term industrial viewpoints. Indeed this workshop is the
first ever to bring in together the experts from RF/analog/baseband
hardware, physical and MAC layers in order to address the peculiar issues of
MTWS.
