SCOPE/CALL FOR PAPERS
With the emergence of wireless mesh networks new topologies appeared
that complement the classic base station centered deployments. On the
low complexity side, direct link set-ups like the IEEE 802.11 Task Group
"z" approach enable connectivity between end stations, thereby avoiding
unnecessary transmissions to and from an Access Point. The peer-to-peer
specification that Wi-Fi Alliance currently develops provides a more
powerful but also more complex approach. It targets at Bluetooth like
deployments, so as to allow for a private network to be easily set up.
Unlike the aforementioned projects, the wireless mesh networking
standards developed within IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.15.5, the
IETF Next Generation Internet groups MIPSHOP, NETLMM, and MANET target
at full solutions that provide all features necessary to enable
spontaneous ad hoc connectivity within single hop range up to highly
scalable, self-healing, reliable and cost-effective multi-hop set-ups
for very diverse environments. Even beyond this scope, several research
projects survey the feasibility of mesh networks formed of heterogeneous
standards.
With the traditional network topologies fading away, wireless mesh
networks and their ad hoc relatives have become a hot topic in the
research community. However, the new topologies affect protocol designs
and interoperability with existing networks. Loop-free set-ups,
broadcast traffic handling, inter-standard mesh networks, hand over of
roaming devices, and the usage of mesh networks in TV whitespaces are
few examples that these new technologies need to be aware of.
Furthermore, it is still to be fully understood what technological
challenges the above mentioned standardization efforts have to face, how
they will evolve, and what application scenarios will be able to drive
their possible success in the market.
Building on the success of the previous editions, MeshTech 2009 aims at
bringing together again practitioners and researchers from both academia
and industry in order to discuss the recent advances and future
evolution of next generation peer-to-peer and mobile mesh/multihop relay
networking technologies and standards for Wireless Personal, Local,
Metropolitan, Rural and Regional Area Networks.
Within the scope of wireless mesh networks, topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:
- Routing protocols
- Medium access control protocols
- Quality of Service and fairness provisioning
- Mesh networks configuration and management
- Topology discovery, association and control
- Mesh networks measurement
- Mobility management
- Coexistence with existing wireless infrastructures
- Security architectures, functions and protocols
- Performance evaluation
- Comparative study of competing solutions
- Cross-layer design and optimization
- Cognitive and frequency-agile radios
- Fault tolerance, anomaly detection and error recovery schemes
- Interworking of heterogeneous standards wireless mesh networks
- Mesh networks for TV white spaces
