IWPC White Papers & Working Group Reports


List of Working Groups:

mmWave Mobility Working Group

Mobile Multi Gigabit (MoGIG) Wireless Networks and Terminals - 5000x Working Group

2.3-2.7 GHz Band Project - Exploring RF Innovation and Architectures Working Group

Tower Top Electronics Reliability Working Group

Tunable Components and Architectures Working Group

Mobile RF Filter Working Group

Handset Quality Working Group

Handset Power Management Working Group


mmWAVE MOBILITY WORKING GROUP


5G Millimeter Wave Frequencies and Mobile Networks

The use of mmWave frequency bands for mobile terrestrial networks is one of the new aspects introduced in 3GPP Release 15, which includes the first definition of a 5G standard. While mmWave frequencies have been used in the past for satellite, LMDS, or 802.11ad transmissions, this is the first time that mmWave frequencies will be used for point-to-multipoint mobile networks supporting handheld devices, among other use cases.

MOBILE MULTI GIGABIT (MOGIG) WIRELESS NETWORKS AND TERMINALS - 5000X WORKING GROUP



Evolutionary & Disruptive Visions Towards Ultra High Capacity Networks

The aim of this whitepaper is to advance certain understandings and concepts for adoption in wireless systems to be deployed beyond the year 2020, what is referred to here as “5G.” While this whitepaper does not authoritatively prescribe what “5G” standards are or of what they will consist, the paper presents technical details and tradeoffs that should be considered in defining “5G.” It is expected these contributions will empower the networks beyond 2020 with critically needed spectrum, air interface advances, and architectural structure to address the rapidly developing demands and imaginative new applications envisioned for this next decade.

TOWER TOP ELECTRONICS RELIABILITY WORKING GROUP


Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Testing Best Practices

The objective of this document is to define best practices for measurement and prevention of Passive Intermodulation (PIM) in wireless networks beyond International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specification 62037 providing additional guidelines for field environments.

November 3, 2014 - Revision 1.0

Request White Paper

Reliability Prediction Methods for Tower Top Electronic Systems

The purpose of this white paper is to remove some of the mystery of how reliability and especially failure rates are determined. Prediction methods are described and examples of how they are used for Tower Top electronic systems are given. These methods include using underlying physics of failure, empirical results from customer returns and accelerated tests to determine failure rates.

Request White Paper

Fiber to the Antenna: Current Trends and Installation Best Practices

Until now, no standard procedures for installing fiber on the tower existed.  This paper offers a set of researched best practices that can help mobile service providers, tower construction contractors and tower hands install FTTA architectures correctly and efficiently.

December 14, 2012 - Revision 1.1

Request White Paper

Predicting Tower Top Electronic Systems Reliability Through Accelerated Testing

This paper discusses several physical models of degradation mechanisms that can occur for electronics situated in adverse environments, such as the tops of cellular towers, and explains how those models can be tapped to create reliability testing specifically aimed at defending electronics against those failure modes.

HANDSET POWER MANAGEMENT WORKING GROUP


What is Desired from the Platform Community to Help Manage Device Power

After many months of workshops and conference calls, the IWPC's Handset Power Management Working Group prepared a briefing on various aspects of Handset Power Management.  This briefing was presented at the Intel hosted Mobile Platform workshop in June 2011.

TUNABLE COMPONENTS AND ARCHITECTURES WORKING GROUP


RF Tuning in Cellular Handsets: Employing tuning to address Multi-Mode, Multi-Band RF Front-End Challenges

The main objective of this whitepaper is to provide the reader with an overview of RF tuning as applied to the cellular handset. This technology is available to significantly improve handset performance for RF communications. After reading this whitepaper, the reader should appreciate the uses of RF tuning and see where this technology can be applied to current and future products.

MOBILE RF FILTER WORKING GROUP


IWPC Mobile RF Filter Group

In April 2011, the IWPC was invited by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to prepare and present an industry wide technical briefing on the state of the art and forecast for mobile device RF filters.  This "presentation", prepared by the 4 largest manufacturing companies in the world, is that technical briefing.
