The third volume of the influential WWRF Book of Visions of
research and trends in mobile communications has been fully
updated. It includes three new chapters on flexible spectrum use,
ultra-broadband convergent home-area networks, and the system
concept. Visions from manufacturers, network operators,
research institutes and academia from all over world are captured
by the WWRF in one comprehensive single point of reference.

Technologies for the Wireless Future, Volume 3 describes
the expectations and requirements of a user in the 'future
wireless world' between 2010 and 2017. This will enable
readers to prioritise research topics based on the provision of
cost-effective solutions. This book is ideal for researchers from
both academia and industry, as well as engineers, managers,
strategists, and regulators.

WWRF has become highly influential on the future of wireless
communication. You can see the evidence already, as many of
the concepts described in the very first Book of Vision have been
adopted in today's wireless implementations. The organization
brings together the long-range views of academia with the practical
constraints and requirements of industry. This is a powerful
combination.
