Handoff is a key element in the wireless cellular networks in order to provide Quality of Service (QoS) to the users and to support users’ mobility. Handoff failure will result in the forced termination of an ongoing call. From the user’s point of view, the service of a handoff request is more important, as the forced termination of an ongoing call is more annoying than the blocking of new calls. Therefore, in order to support QoS to the users and to provide ubiquitous coverage, the handoff procedure should be further investigated. The aim of this lecture is to provide a comprehensive survey of the basic elements, the different types and phases of the handoff procedure.

Find out what's inside a cellphone, a television set, the human body, ... with the help of researchers from the IMDEA Institutes.

Discover the huge amount of science and technology that surrounds our lives, making them more comfortable, simpler and safer, and meet those who are engaged in advancing science and technology every day.

Science in Your Living Room is the activity of the IMDEA Institutes in European initiative The Researchers' Night 2013. Its main objective is to present to the public the large amount of science and technology involved in almost every object and service around us. The audience is invited to interact and discover the appeal of the work of the researchers. The goal of this activity is to analyze, with the help of the audience, how different our life would be without science, stress the importance of science and technology for social welfare, and show how rewarding and interesting is getting involved in science and technology.

2013 IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications is the 3rd edition of IEEE OnlineGreenComm conducted entirely online and dedicated to addressing the challenges in energy-efficient communications and communications for green technologies.

Only a year ago Spaniards began to enjoy 4G mobile networks, which increase tenfold the transmission rates of mobile data when compared to the third generation.  5G network development is now underway, intent on providing a network with a capacity one thousand times higher than the previous generation.

On Friday, September 26^th 2014, from 18:00 to 21:00, some researchers from the IMDEA research Institutes will show us how you may find in a car examples of progress accomplished by science and technologies as diverse and seemingly unrelated as software, materials or food science.
