DESCRIPTION:Prof. Markus Rupp\, Vienna University of Technology\nIt is exp
 ected that by 2050 about 86% of the world's population shall be urbanized.
  Even though most people will concentrate around city centers\, they will 
 have to commute substantially. Not just going to work can require several 
 hours a day but also every errand\, every event people want to participate
  in. These hours of travelling can be unproductive\, but once wireless con
 nections to the internet are available\, lots of activities can be fulfill
 ed.\nNo matter if public transportation by bus or train\, or individual au
 tomobile transportation\, lots of wireless connections are required. But n
 ot only commuting people are causing high data traffic\, also the busses\,
  cars and trains themselves will participate in data traffic generation an
 d finally even dominate due to many desirable features in security\, safet
 y and fleet control.\nThe wireless internet today is based on a nomadic us
 e for its participants. In this talk the challenges for future wireless ne
 tworks to deal with such mass of high mobile users are being set and first
  ideas to overcome such hurdles with existing and future networks are bein
 g proposed. The limitations of the current physical layer are explained\, 
 potential solutions such as Hetnets\, distributed antennas and eMBMS servi
 ces are explained in such context. Only few of the recent ideas proposed f
 or 5G networks appear as feasible solutions.\nBio: Markus Rupp (IEEE Fello
 w) received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in 1988 at the University of Saarbruecke
 n\, Germany and his Dr.-Ing. degree in 1993 at the Technische Universitaet
  Darmstadt\, Germany\, here he worked with Eberhardt Haensler on designing
  new algorithms for acoustical and electrical echo compensation.\nFrom Nov
 ember 1993 until July 1995\, he had a postdoctoral position at the Univers
 ity of Santa Barbara\, California with Sanjit Mitra where he worked with A
 li H.Sayed on a robustness description of adaptive filters with impact on 
 neural networks and active noise control.\nFrom October 1995 until August 
 2001 he was a member of Technical Staff in the Wireless Technology Researc
 h Department of Bell-Labs at Crawford Hill\, NJ\, where he worked on vario
 us topics related to adaptive equalization and rapid implementation for IS
 -136\, 802.11 and UMTS\, including the first MIMO prototype for UMTS as we
 ll as the first WiFi prototypes.\nSince October 2001 he is a full professo
 r for Digital Signal Processing in Mobile Communications at the Vienna Uni
 versity of Technology where he founded the Christian-Doppler Laboratory fo
 r Design Methodology of Signal Processing Algorithms in 2002 at the Instit
 ute for Communications and RF Engineering (now Institute of Telecommunicat
 ions). He served as Dean from 2005-2007 and as Head of Institute from 2014
 -2015.
