Subject: IEEE CCEM: Talk on "Channels for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access" - 22 Jan

Dear All,

The IEEE-CCEM Chapter has completed another year of operations and it is time to take stock of our successes and failures and plan for the future. We have planned the Annual Meeting this year on Jan 22nd in Hotel Atria. This meeting has been clubbed with a technical talk, the details of which are given below.
I would request Computer/Communication/Engineering Management (CCEM) society members to participate in both the events. The agenda for both the tech talk and the meet is given below:

Agenda:

1. Networking : 6.00pm to 6.30 pm
2. Technical talk : 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm
3. CCEM Meeting : 7:30 pm to 8:30pm
4. Dinner for IEEE Members : 8:30pm onwards

Venue: The Chancery @ Hotel Atria,
Date : Wednesday, 22nd January, 2003

Details of the talk are given below. The tech talk is open to both IEEE and non-IEEE members. The meeting after that and the dinner is open to IEEE CCEM members only.

> Bangalore Chapter of the Computers, Communication and Engineering Management Society (CCEM) ,
> invites you to the Technical talk by Dr. K. V. S. Hari, on
>
> "Channels for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access : Measurements and
> Modelling for the IEEE 802.16 standard"
>
> Based on experiments done at Stanford to study MIMO wireless channels.
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
> Abstract:
>
> There is a growing demand for broadband services over the wireless medium. Fixed Broadband
> Wireless Access Systems are being designed and developed to compete with wireline services
> offered by DSL and cable modem. The challenge is to provide a wireless solution, which can
> operate in a Non-Line-of Sight (NLOS) scenario. The talk will present the results of
> experiments carried out (in and around Stanford University) to study MIMO wireless channels
> in the 2.5-2.7 GHz band for the NLOS condition. Variation in parameters like pathloss,
> K-factor, antenna correlation, doppler spectrum, co-channel interference (and other
> parameters) will be presented for various experimental cases. Based on these measurements
> and existing literature, the Stanford University Interim (SUI) channel models have been
> proposed, which now form the IEEE 802.16 standard on Wireless Channel Models
