The Berkeley Wireless
Research Center (BWRC) had its origins in the InfoPad project which completed in
early 1997. InfoPad was a large interdisciplinary effort, which had a goal of
implementing a complete system for wireless access of multimedia data from a
high bandwidth wired infrastructure. A system approach was taken in this
investigation, which attempted to optimize all aspects of the design from the
user interface to the low power design of the terminal hardware, which uncovered
a need to deal with the issues of project management and intergroup
communications. Building on what was learned in InfoPad, the BWRC was formed to
investigate the present and future capabilities of implementing single chip
wireless systems in advanced CMOS technology.
