Our
mission at U. S. Center for Wireless Communications (R) is to foster
world-class research and development in emerging wireless mobile
communication technologies, and to reshape the wireless future by
innovation and optimization.
Wireless applications in strong support of
vehicular and pedestrian users has emerged as a cornerstone of new
generation communications. When coupled to the emerging broadband wireline infrastructure, wireless access and wireless mobile will
extend the benefits of multimedia services from the home and
business environments, ushering in an era of anyone, anywhere,
anytime, any media communications. It is within this context that
the U.S. Center for Wireless Communications was founded.
Since its founding, the
US-CWC is committed to
developing a global research platform needed for producing
future-proven wireless technology, strategy as well as business plan
. The Center places very high priority on international
collaboration, project partnership, critical research, joint
development and technology transfer in all fields of emerging
wireless and mobile communications.
In future 4G mobile communications, two economically
contradictive demands will arise; ubiquity and diversity. Open,
global and ubiquitous communications make people free from spatial
and temporal constraints. Versatile communication systems will also
be required to realize customized services based on diverse
individual needs. The flexibility of wireless mobile IT (wmIT) can
satisfy these demands simultaneously. Therefore, wmIT can be seen to
play a key fundamental role in the 21st century.
The user expectations are increasing with regard to a
large variety of services and applications with different degree of
quality of service, which is related to delay, data rate and bit
error requirements. Therefore, seamless services and applications
via different wireless access systems and technologies that maximize
the use of available spectrum will be the driving forces for future
wireless developments.
The B3G/4G vision from the user perspective can be
implemented by integration of these different evolving and emerging
wireless technologies in a common flexible and programmable platform to provide a multiplicity of possibilities for current and
future services and applications to users in a single terminal.
Systems of 4G mobile will mainly be characterized by a horizontal
communication model, where different communication technologies as
cellular, cordless, WLAN type systems, short range wireless
connectivity and wired systems will be combined on a common platform
to complement each other in an optimum way for different service
requirements and radio environments which in our words called
“Converged Broadband Wireless Platform, or Open Wireless
Architecture (OWA)”.
OWA will eventually become the global industry
standard to integrate various wireless air-interfaces into one
wireless open terminal where the same end equipment can flexibly
work in the wireless access domain as well as in the mobile cellular
networks. As mobile terminal (rather than wireline phone) will
become the most important communicator in future, this single
equipment with single number and multiple air-interfaces (powered by
OWA) will definitely dominate the wireless communication industries.
The OWA platform can not only improve the spectrum
efficiency, increase wireless data-rate and optimize network
resource, but also provide cost-effective solution to enhance the
wireless communication services which is very essential for the next
generation business model of mobile communications.
US-CWC is an internationally orientated
organization providing advanced and highly technological wireless
development and design projects and products across the entire
segments of wireless communications, including Beyond 3G (B3G) and
4G mobile communications - worldwide.
The objective of US-CWC is to be the customers' preferred, loyal,
reliable and economical external R&D supplier of RF, HW, SW, BB,
Silicon IP and project management within the emerging wireless
technologies field, including in particular the next generation
wireless technologies focusing on open wireless architecture.
US-CWC is also targeted to be the world's leading
independent design and development house of advanced wireless
venture technologies, providing total solutions for wireless
terminals and related technology of B3G mobile communications,
integrating the wireless access technology and mobile cellular
technology into one open wireless platform architecture.
Stay tuned, connected and involved in our great
efforts to make this center a world's authoritative technical
warehouse and world-class research body in the next generation
wireless and mobile communications towards the year 2020 and beyond.
