AIMS AND TOPICS
Internet access is undergoing a fundamental change. More powerful
devices and lower cost radio technologies are facilitating the
transition to the Mobile Internet in which users can access a diverse
range of services and applications anytime, anywhere. However, the
huge increase in demand that this brings cannot easily be met by
current radio access systems. Hence, there is a need for more
powerful, more efficient, higher speed, lower cost radio technologies
for Broadband Wireless Access.
There is much energy within the community to develop more advanced
BWA technologies - activities span the wireless domain, ranging from
more advanced antenna technologies to co-operative relays to mesh
networking systems and many more: future networks will likely employ
some mix of these different mechanisms. We anticipate that this 4th
workshop will continue the successful series, providing a forum for
new research results and reports on practical experience working with
innovative technologies in the domain of Broadband Wireless Access.
The workshop, then, is soliciting contributions including but not
limited to topics listed below.
- Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks
- Cellular broadband technologies, UMTS, HSPA, LTE, IMT Advanced,...
- Incumbent and Future BWA Technologies, 802.16x, 802.20, etc
- Wireless Mesh Networks for Broadband Access
- QoS in Mobile and BWA Networks
- Intercell Interference Coordination, Power Control and Load Balancing
- Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering
- Physical and Data Link Layer Issues
- Characterization, Modeling of BWA Traffic, Mobility and Channels
- Large-scale and Heterogeneous BWA Evaluations
- Spectrum Management
- Interoperability Aspects (fixed/mobile LANs/MANs, WANs)
- Vertical and Horizontal Integration
- Micro and Macromobility Management
- Cross-layer Optimisation Approaches
- Experimental Evaluation of Cross-layer Interactions
- Network Management, Self-optimizing Networks
- (W)NGN Architectures and Trends
- Multihop, relaying and repeater architectures
- Design and Evaluation of Testbeds
- Multi-access Systems, Always Best Connected Networks, etc.
- Radio Resource Management, Admission Control, Scheduling,
Optimisation of MIMO systems
- Experiences/lessons from recent deployments
PAPER SUBMISSION
Submitted papers must describe new work that is not currently under
review nor has been previously published. Paper length should not
exceed five-pages and submission is via EDAS. Papers should be
submitted in a .pdf or .ps format by selecting Globecom 2008 on EDAS
and then selecting the workshop submission link. Please see the
Author Information page for submission guidelines in the IEEE
GLOBECOM 2008 website www.comsoc.org/confs/globecom/2008/index.html
for more information.
All submitted papers will be reviewed by up to three experts and if
accepted, published in the conference proceedings, which will be
available at IEEEXplore and registered in Engineering Index (EI).
At least one author of accepted papers is required to register for
the workshop at the full registration rate.
