CALL FOR PAPERS
Internet access is undergoing a fundamental change. A steadily
increasing spectrum of services is attracting a rapidly growing number
of users which, in turn, wish to access these services 'anytime and
anywhere'. In order to meet this demand, Broadband Wireless Access (BWA)
technologies are becoming extremely important and vendors and
standardisation bodies respond to this development with new and powerful
BWA technologies. Supporting transmission rates up to several megabits
per second at distances far as tens of kilometres while providing full
mobility support, these technologies provide the long-awaited means for
delivering any telecommunication service over the Internet.
BWA technologies are yet in their infancy and one outcome is that many
are far from being complete and optimised for such a versatile environment
like the Internet. Consequently, BWA is currently receiving much attention by
the research community. By organising this 1st BWA Workshop, it is our
intention to bring together and provide an international forum for this
research community. In this line, the workshop programme covers various
aspects of these technologies including but not limited to:
- Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks
- Incumbent and future BWA Technologies, 802.16x, 802.20, UMTS, etc
- QoS in Mobile and BWA Networks
- Radio Resource Management, Admission Control and Scheduling
- Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering
- Physical and Data link Layer Issues
- Characterization, Modeling of BWA Traffic, Mobility and Channels
- Large-scale and Heterogeneous BWA Evaluations
- Spectrum Management
- Interoperability Aspects (fixed/mobile LANs/MANs, WANs)
- Vertical and Horizontal Integration
- Micro and Macromobility Management
- 3G/4G Wireless Technologies
- Applications Support
- Cross-layer Optimisation Approaches
- Experimental Evaluation of Cross-layer Interactions
- Multimedia support
- Network Management
- (W)NGN Architectures and Trends
- Design and Evaluation of Testbeds
- Experiences/lessons from recent deployments
PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original,
previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another
conference or journal, addressing original research as well as results
of laboratory and real network trials.
Submitted papers should have no more than 6 pages and have to be in accordance
with the IEEE CS Press format, see http://www.computer.org/ for more
information. Paper submissions are to be made electronically, using EDAS.
http://edas.info/5583
Each paper will be thoroughly reviewed by at least three reviewers from the
TPC or associated reviewers. Accepted papers will be published in conference
proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press, managed by the IEEE
Conference Publishing Services. The Proceedings will be indexed with Ei
(Inspec).
