The NYU Wireless <http://wireless.engineering.nyu.edu/> mmW research center pioneered much of the essential tech of 5G. As the field grows the Research Coordination Network <http://mmwrcn.ece.wisc.edu/> is a multistakeholder project to connect NYU and its academic brethren with industry and government agencies, plus the wider community, mainly through a series of workshops of which this was the 4th. Last year the NSF also launched <https://isoc-ny.org/p2/9161> the PAWR effort to foster collaborative testbeds which led to the funding of the Cloud Enhanced Open Software Defined Mobile Wireless Testbed for City-Scale Deployment <https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1827923> (COSMOS) which aims to deploy a city-scale advanced wireless platform *in NYC* by 2023 (more <http://wireless.engineering.nyu.edu/nsf-announces-new-york-city-as-testbed-for-new-wave-of-mobile-technology/> ). The testbed breakout session at this workshop provides an opportunity to learn more about this and similar projects. What should not be missed are the two keynotes John Cioffi (11am) and Ted Rappaport (2:30pm), however, be warned, both are highly technical. John Cioffi is a Interne <https://www.internethalloffame.org/inductees/john-cioffi>t Hall Of Fame inductee <https://www.internethalloffame.org/inductees/john-cioffi> known as “the father of DSL” and his talk might be called 'DSL's not Dead!' as he talks about achieving gigabit speeds over multiple twisted pairs. NYU Wireless founder Ted Rappaport starts by dispellings some myths, talks about the latest in 5G tech, and finishes up with a critique of FCC 5G policy. A nugget I have picked out as a taster for the stream is from the first panel. Ted is asked about what comes after 5G. http://isoc-ny.org/misc/ted_rappaport_on_6g.mp4 Thanks are due to the mmW RCN steering committee for permission to restream this event.

The RCN’s aim is to spur research and development of *mmW wireless <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_high_frequency>*, driven by innovations in three key areas: 1) *CSP*: communication and signal processing techniques; 2) *HW*: mmW hardware, circuits, antennas, and digital hardware; and 3) *NET*: wireless networking; along with mmW prototypes and testbeds. The RCN is *NSF funded <https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1648917>*. Further workshops are planned for Fall 2018 (National Institute of Standards and Technology), and Spring 2019 (Univ of California – Berkeley) *Schedule (all times EDT = UTC-4)* *11:00 Welcome and Opening Remarks – Akbar Sayeed* *11:10 Keynote: Terabit DSL (using sub-mm waveguide modes in a copper pair) – Prof. John Cioffi* *11:48 Panel: State of mmW Technology and Industry Outlook* *13:09 Breakout: Development of Cost-Effective Community Testbeds for Research and Experimentation* *14:32 Keynote: CoMP and Hybrid Beamforming for 5G MMWAVE -Ted Rappaport* *15:17 Readout: Communication and Signal Processing & Networking* *15:31 Readout: Hardware, Circuits, Antennas, Communication/Signal Processing,* *15:46 Readout: Cost-Effective Community Testbeds Development* *16:10 Panel: Academic-Industry Collaboration for “Moonshot” mmW RCN Contributions* *17:03 Discussion: Goals and Deliverables for RCN 2020 and RCN 2025* *17:32 Close* *Info: http://mmwrcn.ece.wisc.edu/?page_id=1372 <http://mmwrcn.ece.wisc.edu/?page_id=1372>* *View on YouTube: http://bit.ly/mmwrcn4 <http://bit.ly/mmwrcn4>* *Twitter: #mmwrcn http://bit.ly/mmwrcn <http://bit.ly/mmwrcn>* *Permalink* http://isoc-ny.org/p2/10439 -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -
