Workshop Leaders:
As
a leading authority on WCDMA 3G system, Harri Holma joined Nokia
Research Center in 1994 and received his M.Sc. from Helsinki University of
Technology in 1995. Since 1994 he has been working with 3rd generation WCDMA
air interface with special interest on radio network performance. In January
1998 he joined Nokia Networks and he is currently working as Senior Specialist
with WCDMA radio network development.
Mr.
Holma has edited the book "WCDMA for UMTS", and has authored three
chapters in the book "WCDMA for 3rd Generation Mobile
Communications" by Ojanpera and Prasad.
As
a major contributor to WCDMA 3G Standards, Antti Toskala
( M.Sc.) is the
3GPP Chairman for the TSG RAN WG1, the group responsible for the
physical layer of the WCDMA standard.
He joined the Nokia Research Center in 1994, where he
was
involved with WCDMA system studies. In September 1995, he joined the
ACTS FRAMES
project. In later phase of the FRAMES project he worked as the
team leader
for the work package that defined the FMA2 WCDMA concept.
During
1997, he was working as a Senior Research Engineer and CDMA
Specialist
participating in the ETSI SMG2 UMTS standardization work. Currently he is with
IP Mobility Networks at Nokia Networks working as Standardization Manager with
WCDMA and GSM standardization. He has published numerous papers in the field
of WCDMA 3G system and GSM system and is co-editor (with Harri Holma) of the
Book "WCDMA for UMTS."
Harri
and Antti have just published 2nd edition of <<WCDMA
for UMTS>>
Harri
and Antti will be happy to autograph your copy of the book <<WCDMA for UMTS>>

Who should Attend This Workshop
This 3G CDMA workshop is designed for chip
designers, network engineers, RF planners, engineering managers and others who
want to learn how 3G System works and how best to
implement the technology. This is the place to get all of your questions
answered on the latest advancements in 3G.
Since our workshop leaders are directly
responsible for 3G Standards development, please feel free to ask any in-depth
questions regarding 3G systems during the workshop. You will also get many
inside stories regarding 3G Systems and their readiness for commercial
deployments.
We will cover W-CDMA in a
step-by-step fashion. The emphasis will be on system engineering, migration,
optimization and system implementation.
