Call For Papers - CFP

In the recent years, the advent of new and powerful Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technologies has open the path to a clear steep growth in research interests in wireless mobile communication systems as an inexpensive and promising means for ubiquitous communications, leading to a fundamental change in Internet access. These emerging technologies have a great potential for ubiquitous wireless network access anywhere and anytime, with the goal to deliver telecommunication services, including wireless services over the Internet and the Next Generation Networks. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of networks, devices and services, ubiquitous multi-hop wireless access technologies introduce new research challenges in all areas of network, including protocol stack, security, interoperability, deployment, architectures, performance, to name a few. This workshop provides an international forum for the research community in the above-mentioned research areas. It will cover various aspects of BWA technologies, including but not limited to:

Architectures, technologies, protocols for BWA

Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks

IMT-Advanced Networks

Self-configuring Cellular Networks

Medium Access Control and QoS
