Personal Wireless Conference 2001

Mobile communications has created a major breakthrough in new telecom services worldwide during the last decade. It is expected that the number of global mobile connections exceeds the number of fixed connections in the next five years period. At the same time the new IMT-2000 compatible Third Generation (3G) broadband networks and services will be available. The data service breakthrough enabled by Internet will create new possibilities for mobile and wireless services. A lot of research is also targeted to wireless Internet services and IP-mobility.

The PWC '2001 conference will be a forum for tutorials, discussions and presentations of the new developments in mobile and wireless research. The conference is planned with one day for tutorials and two days for presentations. The following areas are included in the scope of the conference:
