padco, I think the answer (which you will find in many shapes and fashions --- in the following links :-) ) is YEP !, they pretty much agree that Wilan's claims are valid. Otherwise, they would not be in the forum.
We should note that the word "Forum" was carefully chosen, meaning that it was a concensus seeking group.
The other group is an alliance for all who subscribe to the pre-conceived idea that only V-OFDM is the best, and and because it's the best, you can have it free.
In the opinion of this stubborn old dirt farmer, NOBODY has all the answers to all problems that the various groups will experience. So (as much as we'd like to think otherwise) W-OFDM is not the COMPLETE answer to those problems. I do not know the the technical aspects, but there is something called a Power Regulation problem which must be overcome , if W-OFDM were to be used as a substitute for the current (truly mobile) cell phone technologies ...(CDMA or TDMA, etc) I understand that Qualcomm has the IPR which solves this problem.
Time is very important, so these folks know that they must cooporate, and Microsoft is pushing hard to get this accomplished.
I'm rushing this a bit, and hope that it makes good sense. Best, Mardy. The links : siliconinvestor.com |
