In conjunction with
WiMob 2009
Marrakech, Morocco
October 12th-14th, 2009

http://conferences.computer.org/wimob2009/

Scope
-----
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.

Topics of Interest
------------------
This workshop focuses on all topics related to Broadband Wireless Internet
Access (BWIA), including Mobile BWIA, with focus 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
