Education Day - Core 4 Delivery Efficiency - Spectrum Sharing & Enabling Technol

Date & Time : 27th January 2006, 10:00

Venue : France Telecom, Chiswick, London  location

Address: France Telecom, Chiswick, London

Objectives

The Mobile VCE core 4 research programme on Delivery Efficiency with some 70 man years of effort will commence early January 2006. In order to facilitate a rapid and efficient start up of the new PhD students and the post doctoral research staff with their initial technology reviews and analysis, a series of education days will be held late January.

For the work package addressing Spectrum Sharing & Enabling Techniques through Cognitive Radio, an all-day event will be held on 27th January 2006 hosted by France Telecom R&D UK Ltd. Here presentations from experts involved with EU and military projects, technology forums, policy and regulation as well as academic research, will facilitate a structured review of the state-of-the-art by our researchers.
