Workshop Description

The RAS (www.ict-ras.eu) is a cluster activity comprising a portfolio of 20 research projects participating in the 7th Framework Program and in the new H2020 research program. RAS projects investigate Radio Access and Spectrum aspects of future wireless networks. In this light, the main objective of this workshop is exchange and dissemination of EU project’s innovations in the Radio Access and Spectrum area, and fostering debate on opportunities for collaboration between research projects.

The workshop is structured in two Sessions in order to facilitate exchanges on topics of common interest: "Innovations on the PHY layer" and "Innovations on the Network Architecture". These two areas combined will contribute to the capacity improvement required by the next generation of wireless networks. Projects updates will be accompanied by a key note speaker invited by the coordination action CRS-i. The workshop will end with a Panel addressing the role of regulation on wireless innovation and future plans for the RAS cluster.
