Turning Research into ACTION
Mobile Wireless technology has come a long way since the 1980’s. Dr Singh will trace its evolution and also project where the technology and services are heading over the next decade. He will illustrate the evolution of wireless technology by explaining his own role and of others in starting several businesses in the wireless areas. He played a key role in starting LCC International, several cellular mobile radio networks in various countries, Teligent, Aether Systems, XM Satellite Radio, Motient Satellite Ventures, and WCS Wireless. He will explain the technology and business concepts which assisted in the start of business.
Dr. Rajendra Singh is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and together with his family, the principal owner of Telcom Ventures, L.L.C., a private investment firm specializing in telecommunications and related information technologies. Dr. Singh is also a member of the Board of Directors of LCC International, Inc., a publicly-traded subsidiary of Telcom Ventures, and the one of the largest wireless telecommunications engineering consulting firms in the world. Dr. Singh and his wife, Neera Singh, co-founded LCC International in 1983. Dr. Singh received his Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from Southern Methodist University in 1980. He has a distinguished record of academic achievements beginning with his doctoral dissertation, Spectrum Efficient Schemes for Mobile Radio Communications, which was published in 1980. He has organized scientific panels investigating new cellular technologies, including TMDA and FDMA.

Dr. Arogyaswami Paulraj
Professor at the Dept. of Electrical Engineering
Stanford University
|
Is OFDMA, MIMO and Opportunistic Scheduling the Right Stuff?
Dr. Arogyaswami Paulraj - This talk looks at the three chief ingredients of mobile broadband networks - multiple access, multiple antennas and multi-user diversity, and discusses how they work together to improve spectral efficiency, range and delay performance. The IEEE 802.16e standard incorporates all these three elements. We will present theoretical performance of 802.16e as a function of different choices in design and environmental parameters and discuss system tradeoffs.
Dr. Arogyaswami Paulraj – Dr. Paulraj is a Professor at the Dept. of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University, where he supervises the Smart Antennas Research Group. His group has developed many key fundamentals of space-time (MIMO) wireless systems and has helped shape a worldwide research and development in this technology.

Wide Open Spaces Or Mostly Wireless, Most of the Time
Communications networks are becoming less homogeneous, less structured, and less reliant on wires than ever. It is expected that, in addition to digital cellular links, the wired public switched telephone network (PSTN), the wireline packet switched network, and wireless local area networks (WLANs), future networks will also include mobile ad hoc networks and mesh networks of WLAN access points. In fact, there will be a proliferation of these WLAN access points, and multihop wireless links will be dominant. This talk addresses the challenges and opportunities as we enter the true "next generation" where our communications services traverse these "mostly wireless, most of the time" networks.
Since these networks are mostly wireless and rely on CSMA/CA for multiple access, we will not be able to over-provision bandwidth anywhere near what is done in the fiber backbone. Furthermore, traffic mix (voice, video, and data) and interference in these networks will dictate performance, because latency, packet size, and channel quality interplay so significantly. IEEE 802.11xyz will not fix the "problem," because even the proposed standards are already lagging the issues. Besides, even if the standard has a stated functionality, who knows when or if that functionality will be deployed? Additionally, while everything comes in "Multiples" these days--Multiple users, multiple access, antennas, media--these WLAN mesh networks will bring the need for multiple concurrent routes for increased reliability due to diversity. Thus, efficient discovery of multiple, reliable routes will be critical, and diversity-capable multimedia codecs will bw necessary.
Dr. Jerry Gibson is Professor of Media Arts & Technology and Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research interests include data, speech, video compression, multimedia over networks, wireless communications, information theory, and digital signal processing.

Entrepreneurs: Critical Success Factors for Technology Start-up Companies
As every entrepreneur knows, you need three things to create a successful startup: to start with good people, to make something customers actually want, and successfully raise capital funding at the right time is crucial. Most startups that fail do it because they fail at one of these. A startup that does all three will probably succeed.
Roman Kikta, a seasoned intrapreneur and entrepreneur is the managing partner and co-founder of venture capital firms Genesis Campus and Mobility Ventures. Roman will share his experience and insights on the DNA of a successful entrepreneur-- what it takes to go from idea stage to funding stage. Roman begins by discussing the state of venture capital today, and takes the audiences step-by- step through how seed/ early stage venture capital firms differ from angel investors or larger VC funds, and provides a brief explanation of
investment criteria and how start-ups can increase their chances for successfully raising capital at the early stage with emphasis on management.
