The minutes from the 2nd CUBS Steering Group Meeting held on May 13, 2004, detail the completion of planned work, cost summaries, and revisions to the research agenda. Key highlights include progress in Ultra-Wideband (UWB) activities across various work packages—multiband and singleband UWB, sensor networks, coexistence studies, and channel measurements. There is a notable focus on new research activities in hospitals and the development of channel models, as well as updates on ongoing M.Sc. and licentiate theses related to energy-efficient wireless communications.
