11. Concluding Remarks
In this workshop, we had discussed fundamental technologies, standardization process and requirements for IMT-Advanced, the next complete evolution in wireless communications. We had one keynote speech and four interesting talks. These talks include radio transmission technologies and propagation models for achieving high-speed data transmission in mobile environment, standardization strategies and business schemes for IMT-Advanced. In the lamp session, we deeply discussed on a definition and interpretation of "brain communication", and a comprehensive analysis for the oscillation frequency of RF oscillation circuits.
