It is expected 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 connections to the internet are available, lots of activities can be fulfilled.
No matter if public transportation by bus or train, or individual automobile transportation, lots of wireless connections are required. But not only commuting people are causing high data traffic, also the busses, cars and trains themselves will participate in data traffic generation and finally even dominate due to many desirable features in security, safety and fleet control.
The wireless internet today is based on a nomadic use for its participants. In this talk the challenges for future wireless networks 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 being proposed. The limitations of the current physical layer are explained, potential solutions such as Hetnets, distributed antennas and eMBMS services are explained in such context. Only few of the recent ideas proposed for 5G networks appear as feasible solutions.
Bio: Markus Rupp (IEEE Fellow) received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in 1988 at the University of Saarbruecken, 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.
From November 1993 until July 1995, he had a postdoctoral position at the University of Santa Barbara, California with Sanjit Mitra where he worked with Ali H.Sayed on a robustness description of adaptive filters with impact on neural networks and active noise control.
From October 1995 until August 2001 he was a member of Technical Staff in the Wireless Technology Research Department of Bell-Labs at Crawford Hill, NJ, where he worked on various topics related to adaptive equalization and rapid implementation for IS-136, 802.11 and UMTS, including the first MIMO prototype for UMTS as well as the first WiFi prototypes.
Since October 2001 he is a full professor for Digital Signal Processing in Mobile Communications at the Vienna University of Technology where he founded the Christian-Doppler Laboratory for Design Methodology of Signal Processing Algorithms in 2002 at the Institute for Communications and RF Engineering (now Institute of Telecommunications). He served as Dean from 2005-2007 and as Head of Institute from 2014-2015.
