15:00-16:30 Discussion/Brainstorming - What are the major challenges in wireless network measurements?

During this session we will break out into 4 different groups that are going to discuss topics related to the four sessions of the workshop (30 minutes). One person from each group will then be asked to summarize the group's views on the major challenges of each area. Each area will be discussed for 15 minutes among all participants.
