The World Wireless Research Forum (WWRF) is the place where the global wireless research community meets to explore and develop the research challenges that confront us as we look beyond current 5G deployments. With over 50 members from across 4 continents, WWRF brings together a wide range of industry and academic players and has a particular focus on the contribution of newly emerging market scenarios and developing regions. WWRF’s goal is to encourage research that will achieve unbounded communications to address key societal challenges for the future. We are using the term “Wireless World” in this broad sense to address the support of innovation and business, the social inclusion and infrastructural challenges. This will be achieved by creating a range of new technological capabilities from wide-area networks to short-range communications, machine-to-machine communications, sensor networks, wireless broadband access technologies and optical networking, along with increasing intelligence and virtualization in networks. This will support a dependable future Internet of people, knowledge and things and the development of a service universe.
