MMC 2000
The increasing demand for high-end mobile multimedia services is faced by the reality of scarce radio resources.  These limitations ask for spectrum efficient provision of IP based services.
 
The objective of the workshop is to discuss innovative techniques to tackle the lack of resources by implementing special optimization and coordination techniques, which support the provisioning of particularly valuable services to users on the move and especially in the vehicular environment. The scope includes optimized interworking of mobile telecommunication and radio broadcast networks and the layered interworking of network elements with adaptive applications in order to exploit the scarce radio resources in the most efficient and demand-oriented way. The workshop will provide a roadmap for the provisioning of the future mobile internet in the car.
