BWIA 2008: 2nd International Workshop on Broadband Wireless Internet
Access, to be held in conjunction with the 4th IEEE International
Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications
(WiMob 2008)
Technically sponsored by
Université d'Avignon, IEEE France Section, and IEEE Computer Society
October 12, 2008
Avignon, France

CALL FOR PAPERS:
Nowadays, there is a clear steep growth in research interests in wireless
and mobile communication systems as an inexpensive and promising means for
ubiquitous communications. Mobile broadband wireless is an important
sub-area of this research, which focuses on enabling physical layer
technologies to support third generation as well as future broadband
mobile systems. Even though this sub-area holds
great promises for our future, there are several challenges that need to
be addressed.
This workshop focuses on all topics related to Broadband Wireless Internet
Access (BWIA), including Mobile BWIA, with emphasis on protocols,
architectures, algorithms, resource management, technologies,
applications, practical experiences, simulation results and analysis,
theory and validation. Expected topics include, but are
not limited to:
• New architectures, technologies, protocols for broadband wireless access
• Medium access control and QoS
• Security and privacy issues
• Service level agreements
• Radio extension such as 802.xx (WiFi, WiMax, etc)
• Modulation, coding and antennas (MIMO)
• UMTS and extensions
• Scalability and reliability issues
• Wireless mesh networks
• Optical wireless access networks
• QoS in mobile and broadband wireless access networks
• Radio Resource Management and call admission control
• Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering
• Physical and Data link layer Issues
• Space-time coding for broadband wireless Internet
• Spectrum management
• Interoperability aspects (fixed/mobile LANs/MANs, WANs)
• Micro and macro mobility Management
• 3G/4G Wireless Technologies
• Cross-layer interactions and optimization
• Network and resource management
• Experiences/lessons from recent deployments
