3GPP Long Term
Evolution (LTE) is seeing initial deployment in 2010. LTE is the most
powerful wide-area wireless technology ever developed. This workshop
will emphasize technical aspects of LTE technology and deployment.
Market and business aspects may also be considered.
Proposed topics include:
- LTE trials planning: setup; components; difficulties; performance; and lessons learned
- Self organizing/optimizing networks: why and when they will be needed
- How single-RAN base stations will help different LTE deployment/technology scenarios
- The femtocell value proposition in LTE deployments
- Latest update on the TD-LTE ecosystem
- 3GPP Release 10 standard update
- Anticipated performance under different loading conditions
- Handover mechanisms for voice/data between technologies
- Capacity gains relative to other technologies
- IPv4, IPv6 handling and impact on applications and interconnected networks
- Policy management including business cases
- Expected battery life of handsets
- Spectrum bands
- Antenna considerations. (E.g., 2X2 MIMO in USB modems)
- LTE to LTE-Advanced migration
- WiMAX to LTE migration and integration
- Energy efficiency from the standpoint of both service providers and vendors
- Scaling to meet the expected exponential data demand growth in both core/access networks
Note
that
presenters
and
many
of
the
attendees,
are
world
leading
technologists
on
the
subject
material.
We
allocate
sufficient
time
for
discussion
that
attendees
can
ask
questions
of
greatest
interest.
Moreover,
the
workshops
allow informal networking during breaks where
attendees can exchange important information.

The following information is for people presenting at this PCCA workshop:
- Presentations are typically 30 minutes to 45 minutes long unless arranged otherwise.
- There is usually a 5 to 15 minute discussion following the presentation.
- Presenters
must
provide
their
presentations
(PDF
or
PPT)
at
least
one
week
prior
to
the
workshop
to
allow
for
copying
to
the
members
area
of
the
PCCA
Web
site,
as
well
as
to
allow detailed questions for discussion.
- This is a technical audience (e.g., engineering and program managers), so please make the presentations technical. Emphasis should be on industry and technology at large, versus selling your product (limit of 3 slides). Consider items such as compatibility, technical alternatives, standardization, deployment considerations, interoperability, certification and adoption.
- Generally, a dynamic and attentive audience of key industry stakeholders attend each workshop, representing a broad spectrum of the mobile computing industry, including operators, infrastructure vendors, device vendors, middleware providers and application developers.
- We will provide an LCD projector. Presenters
should
plan
on
presenting
from
their
own
computers.
Presenters
should
use
their
own
presentation
templates.
- Since PCCA workshops are considered public meetings, please do not include any confidential or proprietary information.
