• Chair:
  • Davide Dardani (CNIT, Italy)

Workshop Description

The workshop is organized and supported by the European Laboratory of Wireless Communications for the Future Internet (EuWin) funded by the EC through the Network of Excellence in wireless communications Newcom#. The EuWin facilities are distributed over three sites: at CTTC in Barcelona (Spain), at the University of Bologna (Italy) and at the Eurecom institute in Sophia-Antipolis (France). They are open for access by any scientist worldwide. EuWin is an integrated laboratory able to address, under a common environment, the various topics of wireless communication technologies for the future Internet. The laboratory activities aim at creating a new generation of researchers in wireless communications believing in the motto "Fundamental Research Through Experimentation". EuWin addresses topics and techniques related to the systems and networks that will drive the evolution of wireless communications in the years to come: LTE/4G, the Internet of Things, GNSS. Digital signal processing, radio access and network protocol aspects, are studied through the available lab facilities.

Within this context, the workshop will give a unique opportunity to the attendees to learn in detail the facilities offered by the 3 EuWin sites and how experimental activities can be carried out from them. Emphasis will be given to the role of experimentation as means to characterize the radio environment and test system performance in real contexts, to the interplay between theory and experimentation, and the relevance of a multi-disciplinary approach to research, requiring knowledge of channel, link and network aspects.
