Symposium on Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN 2009)
CALL FOR PAPERS
Scope:
Next generation mobile networks are expected to allow subscribers to
transparently access broadband multimedia services via multiple wireless
and wireline access networks. Evolution towards next generation mobile
networks is already taking place through the interworking of third
generation (3G) cellular systems such as UMTS and cdma2000 with other
broadband wireless access technologies such as WiFi hotspots and WiMax and
the emerging Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technologies to provide mobile
users with anytime anywhere access to broadband multimedia services over
the Internet. Dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radio techniques will
be essential for maximizing the radio resource utilization in future
generation mobile networks. The next generation mobile networks will also
be shaped by emerging standards for wireless access from mobile terminals,
e.g., IEEE 802.22 WRAN and IEEE 802.20 MBWA, and for integration of
heterogeneous wireless access networks, e.g., IEEE 802.21. Due to the
heterogeneity in the wireless access techniques and the requirements of
multimedia services, the issue of QoS provisioning and enforcement in the
future generation mobile networks will become a critical issue for the
wireless access equipment vendors, networks service providers, and
customers. Cross-layer protocol engineering along with
application-oriented signaling protocols, and creation of new services
will be required for efficient network resource utilization and to bring
profitability to the service providers.
The symposium on gNext Generation Mobile Networksh will provide a timely
technical forum for the dissemination of new results in this exciting
research area. It will cover key aspects of B3G/4G mobile networks,
particularly architectures, protocols and management techniques. Papers
addressing areas such as protocol engineering, resource management,
mobility management, handoff management, QoS provisioning, authentication,
authorization and accounting, performance analysis and optimization models
are encouraged.
