CALL FOR PAPERS

RABAN 2012

3rd International Workshop on

Recent Advances in Broadband Access Networks

http://www.cs.tut.fi/RABAN/

3-5 October, 2012

St. Petersburg, Russia

The rapid proliferation of wireless cellular systems over

the last decade has introduced fundamental changes to

”anytime, anywhere” Mobile Internet access, as well as posed

new challenges for the research community. The next generation

of broadband standards, such as 3GPP LTE-Advanced and IEEE

802.16m enhancements target aggressive improvements in all

aspects of wireless system design, including system capacity,

energy efficiency and quality of service. Promising next

generation technologies cover, for example, more advanced

antenna technologies on mobile platforms, advanced network

topologies, cross-layer and co-operative transmission

techniques.

The Workshop aims to bring together the researchers from

academia and the experts from industry to address recent

advances in the design, modeling, prototyping,

implementation, standardization, and deployment of broadband

wireless access networks. It is held in conjunction with the

4th International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications

and Control Systems (ICUMT), St. Petersburg, Russia on

3-5th October, 2012.

Topics of the 3rd RABAN Workshop include, but not limited to,

the following:

* Cross-layer optimization concepts

* Energy efficiency and power management

* Co-operative techniques and traffic relaying

* Multi-access networks and multi-radio terminals

* Network cognition and self-configuration

* Multi-tier network technologies and architectures

* Mobile broadband traffic support

* Vehicular networks

* Client quality of experience enhancement

* Machine-to-machine communications

* Interference mitigation approaches

* Distributed antenna architectures

* Advanced MIMO techniques

* Channel estimation techniques and channel models

* Spectrum management and regulatory issues

Key dates for the 3rd RABAN Workshop are:

Paper submission: 15 July 2012 (FINAL)

Notification of acceptance: 20 August 2012

Camera-ready version: 10 September 2012
