Abstract

The wireless communications field has experienced a truly amazing growth since the early 1990's. Wireless connectivity slowly but surely has become pervasive. One would expect that by now this revolution must be losing some steam, but the truth is far from that. If anything, it is gathering even more speed. In the coming decades, introduction of innovative wireless technologies will enable a broad range of exciting applications to come to fruition, and reshape the way we interact with our daily living environment. Underlying it all is a three-tiered environment consisting of a large number of huge data and compute centers, billions of mobile compute and computation devices, and potentially trillions of tiny sensors and actuators.
