International Workshop on Mobile Multimedia Internet (MMI 2018)

This workshop is about the ever evolving wireless, the Internet, and the marriage between the two that we call the Mobile Multimedia Internet. It will adopt a problem-solving and research exploration based approach with numerous examples in each lecture and selected research issues and solution approaches designed to impart a hands-on experience to students. The workshop is also aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as post-doctoral researchers, working industry professionals, managers, and executives who need to gain enough expertise in this emerging and rapidly evolving discipline. For the expert researcher, the workshop carries adequate discussion of emerging topics pointing to current research and future possibilities.

Telecom carriers in India such as Reliance Jio, Vodafone, and Airtel are rolling out 4G VoLTE services and will likely be on their way to expand their offerings. Carriers in other parts of the world have begun rolling out 5G services. India needs highly skilled innovators, entrepreneurs, technologists, network architects, and researchers who will unleash the potential that India has to offer. This workshop, with its research and problem-based approach, and insights into the field of wireless evolution as it unfolds, is intended to prepare future technologists, entrepreneurs and innovators.

Objectives of Workshop

• Impart to the participants an in-depth understanding of the evolving Mobile Multimedia Internet.
• Impart an understanding of the various wireless networks and protocols, including 3G, 4G (LTE and LTE-A) wireless networks, wireless LANs, also known as the Wi-Fi networks, and Voice over IP (VoIP) networks, including Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and protocols as well as the emerging 5G wireless networks and beyond.
• Impart an understanding of practical problems that arise in the design of wireless networks and architectures through solution approaches to solving the problems.
• Expose the participants to the major standards organizations, ITU-T, IEEE, IETF
• Stimulate the participants to engage in discussions of research issues, future innovative services, and entrepreneurial efforts that could be launched.
