The 21st annual NIWeek conference presented by NI begins August 3 in Austin, Texas, and once again brings together the brightest minds in engineering and science. More than 3,200 innovators representing a wide spectrum of industries, from automotive and telecommunications to robotics and energy, will discover the latest technology to accelerate productivity for software-defined systems in test, measurement, and control.
5G is a hot topic right now and with NI being the leading provider of 5G prototyping solutions, it’s no surprise that NIWeek 2015 will feature a full day 5G summit. Industry and academic leaders will share their 5G vision and research results with presentations covering some of the hottest candidate technologies including new physical layer designs, large channel count MIMO (Massive MIMO) systems, advances in millimeter wave communications, and more.
Sessions will include:
- Keynote: New Opportunities and Challenges for 5G by Dr. Tolis Papathanassiou, Intel Corporation
- FD-MIMO MIMO Prototyping by Dr. Gary Xu, Samsung Research America
- Massive (100 Antenna) MIMO Systems by Dr. Fredrik Tufvesson, Lund University, Sweden
- Full Duplex Radio by Dr. Chan-Byoung Chae, Yonsei University, Korea
- Cooperative Heterogeneous Wireless Networks in 5G by Dr. Preben Mogensen Aalborg University & Nokia, Denmark
- Dense 5G Networks at the PHY, MAC, and Higher Layers by Dr. Sundeep Rangan, New York University Polytechnic
- Panel: 5G – Transforming Traditional Wireless Paradigms
- Moderated by James Kimery, Director of RF, Communications and Software Defined Radio at NI
Panelists include:
- Dr. Robert Heath, Director of the Wireless Networking and Communications Group and the Wireless Systems Innovations Lab at University of Texas at Austin
- Dr. Andrea Goldsmith, Stephen Harris Professor in the School of Engineering Electrical Engineering at Stanford University
- Dr. Farooq Khan, President of Samsung Research America at Samsung Electronics
