The 1st International Forum on Challenges for Broadband Wireless Access enabled by Mesh Networks
Wireless communication is inevitable today and its growing speed is still strong by merging various services being matured in internet. These new services require a fast link speed which is far broader than todays one. The most significant quality measure of wireless communication systems is coverage. Broadband should be ubiquitously accessible everywhere people want to connect, however inflation of link speed prevents coverage from being extended easily: the higher the link speed, the narrower is the cell size. In this short forum, we share views on how a broadband wireless should be realized and where it is about to go. The focus is placed on mesh network because its capability of wirelessly associating access points can extend service coverage cheaply, quickly and flexibly. The forum invites leaders in various field of expertise, from industrial and academia, with regard to this technology and discuss issues toward ubiquitous broadband society.
