Panel session
What everyone ought to know about the Macro Trends in Wireless Research and Experimentation
Abstract: The Gartner Hype Cycle forecasts 5G wireless communication and edge computing as "On the Rise" areas of interest. We also know that the sheer scale of mobile traffic growth and its transformational effect on today's networks requires researchers and industry experts to evaluate a large-scale, sustained shift in designing solutions. This panel will focus on presenting an Industry research road map and developing mutually beneficial, successful collaboration strategies between industry and academic researchers to drive shared research interests and increase the common knowledge base. Panelists will talk about their experiences, obstacles they foresee and the strategies they suggest to get mutually beneficial outcomes.
Moderator: Abhimanyu Gosain (PAWR Project Office)
