Scope

The fourth generation (4G) of wireless communications is expected to

integrate

a potentially large number of different heterogeneous wireless

technologies in

what could be considered a huge step forward towards universal wireless

access

and omnipresent computing through seamless mobility. Even though 4G

standard is

currently not defined, there are many current outlooks that delineate the

vision

of the new wireless technologies. Based on the emergent trends of mobile

communication, 4G will have larger bandwidth, higher data rates, smoother

and

quicker handoff and will focus on guaranteeing faultless service and

seamless

handoff across a multitude of wireless networks. The key concept is

integrating

the 4G capabilities with all of the existing mobile technologies. Special

maneuvers

will be necessary amongst different access systems in terms of horizontal

(intrasystem) and vertical (inter-system) handoff as well as seamless

mobility,

Quality of Service (QoS), dependability and security. In this workshop, we

solicit

high quality papers from leading researchers that present state-of-the-art

research

in heterogeneous wireless networks dealing with resource management

techniques and

QoS provisioning.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Interworking with 2.5G, 3G, and other wireless networks

- QoS provisioning for heterogeneous wireless networks

- End-to-End QoS Architectures

- Location, Mobility and Handoff Management

- Seamless vertical handoff techniques between different wireless networks

- Network selection criteria

- Resource management/allocation

- Bandwidth adaptation

- Power control and management

- Load, admission, and flow control

- Architecture design alternatives for heterogeneous wireless networks

- Performance analysis and experimentation of heterogeneous

wirelessnetworks
