hottest topics of emerging wireless by world's well-known experts

"Prof. Lu's tutorial on 4G is very invaluable, and we listen to his talk as our bible for future research direction. We, three professors, come every year to attend this extremely important 4G tutorial", a GMC'06 tutorial attendee.

"The tutorial is really very good, and the instructor is very knowledgeable in the filed. I am preparing a quite big research fund proposal on 4G project, and had spent almost 5 months on that without much progress. But this time, after attending this so important tutorial, I am so glad that I can finish my proposal within a week, and am pretty confident I will get the fund soon", a WWC'04 tutorial attendee.

"I attended this congress's tutorial every year and will definitely come again next year because, firstly, the topic and content are very invaluable for my design work. Second, the lecturer is very knowledgeable in the "real" industry design and more focusing on the "development" of the real systems. It really pays to have so well trained by so little registration fee", a WWC'03 tutorial attendee.

"this conference's tutorial program is really of super quality. The materials, instructions and the speakers are the best that I never saw in any other events. They are well prepared to share their expertise, knowledge and hands-on experiences with our attendees. We are extremely happy about this great event and will definitely come again next year !", a 3Gwireless'2001 & 3Gwireless'2002 tutorial attendee.

"I attended many other 3G events in Europe and Asia, and found out this is the Best of The Best in the world. It absolutely pays to come here every year to update my knowledge of next generation wireless communications. Thanks for providing so great event with so low cost.", a 3Gwireless'2002 tutorial attendee.
