Abstract
Based on the wireless world research forum (WWRF) vision of seven trillion wireless devices serving seven billion people by 2020, we identified several key user requirements and a scenario to motivate research on many different technical areas. If addressed successfully by the research community and the industry, innovation in new air interfaces (for high bit rate and capacity and low latency); network architectures (like mobile cloud, mesh networks, or cognitive systems); solutions to privacy, security, and trust; and devices that do not need to be recharged for long periods would unleash an era of the wireless world where: each and every person will be empowered by wireless services. Wireless device(s) will become our interface to the digital world. We will live an ambient life style, such that: 1) our mobile device will become the key enabler to interact with smart environments and users; and 2) our mobile device will be a trusted personal assistant that will be indispensible. We will enjoy and benefit from an untethered-but-connected user experience and ubiquitous service delivery with a consistent user experience.
