Call For Papers - CFP

This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Its main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Also, this workshop aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer.

Topics covered in this workshop will include, but will not be limited to, the following:

Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking

Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN

Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking

MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond)

Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols

Implications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocols

Quality of Services provisioning

Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks

Network deployment, localization, and synchronization

Topology construction and maintenance

Methods and tools for mesh and ad hoc networks simulation

Modeling and performance evaluations

Physical layer techniques
