Abstract

This is a Summary version of the propositions and ideas contained in the Draft 2001 Book of Visions (BoV) from the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF). The findings of Working Group 4 entitled 'Spectrum, New Air Interfaces and Ad Hoc Networking' related to the two domains-Spectrum Issues and New Air Interfaces-are covered in this article. The material presented contains excerpts from the many contributions received as submissions to the five WWRF meetings in 2000 and 2001. Moreover, the views reflected here may or may not be approved by the organizations of affiliation of the authors above. It appears impracticable to name the many contributors to the work of WG4 here, since this text is a compressed version of the respective chapters of the BoV and the contributors are named there. The work related to three other domains in WG4, namely Smart Antennas, Ad Hoc Networking and Ultra Wideband systems are presented in separate articles in this journal.
