Abstract: The development of pervasive and converging digital wireless networks in the last two decades has resulted in highly competitive marketplace for mobile data and telephony. The flexible nature of this technology, along with the regulatory liberalisation, forces the telecommunication industry towards rapid innovation and faster product development cycle. This talk provides a quick overview of a few exciting areas of research in Wireless networking such as: network coding, smart antennas, energy Conservation, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems and application Of artificial intelligence techniques on the management of wireless networks. The presentation does not require any previous knowledge in the area of wireless networking.
