DD13W1: Progress and challenges for 100GbE and Beyond
Presenter: Ann Von Lehmen (Telcordia Technologies, Inc., USA)

Network traffic continues to grow. As a result, there is accelerating interest in the development of 100 Gb/s transport, and 100 GbE technology. This session will explore the status of standards efforts, and present perspectives on this emerging technology from the components, systems, and carrier marketplaces.

DD14W1: Whither IMS
Presenter: Vijay Varma and Michael Loushine (Telcordia Technologies, Inc. USA)

IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) standardization continues and new capabilities are being introduced, but something is still holding back deployments. This forum addresses the state of the art of IMS from the technical and business angles. The session consists of short presentations followed by a panel discussion.

DD15W2: B3G & 4G Mobile Wireless Broadband Technologies
Presenter: Andres Kwasinski (Texas Instruments Inc, USA)

Focuses on technology and deployment issues associated with the upcoming and future mobile wireless broadband technologies, emphasizing topics related to 3GPP LTE and WiMAX IEEE 802.16.

DD16W2: Localization in Wireless Networks
Presenter: Mussa Bshara (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium)

Wireless communication operators have realized the value and potential to make information services highly personalized, and enabling these to be location based. Providing LBS requires knowing user’s location; this positioning problem in WiMAX networks is addressed in this session.

DD17W3: Wireless Communication Engineering Technologies (WCET)
Presenter: Celia Desmond (World Class Telecommunications, Canada)

The WCET Certification Program has been designed to address the worldwide wireless industry’s growing and ever-evolving need for qualified communications professionals who can demonstrate practical problem-solving skills in real-world situations. The certification program and related topics are covered.

DD18W3: Localization in Wireless Networks II
Presenter: Mussa Bshara (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium)

This session complements DD18W2 by discussing Service migration, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and their impact, design of modular architecture of MAC (Medium Access Control) layer implementation, and presenting particular case studies.

DD19W3: Optical Switching
Presenter: Sunan Han (Fujitsu Network Communications, USA)

Ethernet and TDM sub-wavelength switching in Packet Optical Networking (PON) platforms are discussed along with an overview of optical burst switching technologies in Ethernet transport networks, emphasizing its technical and economic benefits.
