Future of Wireless IoT Technology from ZigBee to NB-IoT For the past decade, video and music streaming was a bigger driver of Wi-Fi and mobile technology than theIoT. In 2017, this is no longer the case as wireless technology is increasingly shaped by the need to connect “things” rather than people. Wireless streaming rates and bandwidth remain critically important; analysts predict that within the next decade, the number of connected devices will outnumber people by 10 to 1. In the new IoT era, wireless requirements – and hence wireless standards – continue to evolve. In fact, technical requirements ranging from reduced latency to lower power consumption to better reliability are ultimately driving the roadmap of tomorrow’s wireless technology. In this presentation, we will investigate the design and test implications of the hottest emerging wireless technologies for IoT, mobile, and infrastructure including ZigBee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth Low Energy, and NB-IoT. By attending this session, you will become more equipped to evolve your organization for the future of wireless design and test.

Addressing the Challenges of LTE-Advanced Pro and 5G Carrier Aggregation "3GPP Release 13 defines an evolutionary step between 4G and 5G with the introduction of LTE-Advanced Pro. Featuring higher-order modulation schemes, carrier aggregation, and MIMO technologies, LTE-A Pro presents significant test complexity and test challenges. This session will provide a basic overview of the key physical layer characteristics of LTE-A Pro. In addition, we will explain common test practices to address multi-carrier and higher-order MIMO test configurations. Finally, the session will present a status update on 3GPP’s development of a “new radio” physical layer to support future enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) applications." |

5G Research - From Theory to Practice 5G is an exciting research area paving the way for faster, more responsive mobile access networks with increased capacity. New and innovative approaches to solve these challenges include mmWave frequencies, densification, new mobile access technologies/waveforms and Massive MIMO. To expedite the transition of these new technologies from concept to commercialization and adoption requires a platform approach. This talk will overview some of the latest candidate 5G technologies, their progress and their potential to address the 5G needs. |

The Evolution of ADAS - Testing System that Includes Camera, Radar and Sensor Fusion On their own, test requirements for camera and radar technology are rapidly changing as they become more safety critical. And because these systems increasingly rely on sensor fusion techniques, the test requirements are growing even more complex at a fast rate. A test system built on a scalable and flexible architecture is the only way to make sure you can adapt as quickly as ADAS technologies and autonomous vehicle systems are. In this session, we will discuss test methodologies for addressing these requirements, such as scene generation, synchronization between camera and radar simulation, and video bit stream manipulation, to truly put cameras to the test. |
