Call for papers

Ease of use has brought wireless communication an ever increasing
popularity despite its mediocre speed and performance. As various
wireless technologies catch up with the existing needs, the demand for
higher bandwidth, faster and more reliable service increases. The key to
breaking this cycle is for wireless communication to achieve wired-like
speed and performance. The bandwidth required for satisfying such needs
is available in extremely high frequency band, i.e., millimeter wave
spectrum. However, mm wave radio propagation is fundamentally different
from that at the lower carrier frequencies used today for wireless
communication due to the order of magnitude smaller carrier wavelength,
while the projected multiGigabit data rates are an order of magnitude
higher than in current mass market WiFi and cellular systems. This leads
to a set of fundamental challenges that need to be addressed in order
for mmWave communication to become a reality. These include realistic
channel modeling, hardware and signal processing co-design for
multiGigabit links in the presence of severe power and processing
requirements, MAC and network protocol design for inherently directional
and weak links, and the application of mmWave communication to new
domains such as high definition video transfer and data center networks.

Recent advances in low-cost mm wave transceivers imply that the time is
ripe to push for an interdisciplinary approach to address the grand
challenges facing the mmWave communication. Researchers from disciplines
spanning circuit design, communications, signal processing, networking,
security, and applications such as data centers and home entertainment,
need to come together to identify the fundamental bottlenecks, and to
solve the problems that they represent. Eventual working solutions rely
on cross-layer advances covering antenna design, circuits, physical
layer, medium access, and application layer. The purpose of this
workshop is to provide a high-quality interdisciplinary international
forum for researchers and developers from academia and industry to
discuss research findings and exchange information regarding
advancements in the state of the art, as well as to identify the
emerging research topics, open problems, and to define the future of
mmWave communication.

We are soliciting contributions from both academia and practitioners on
work-in-progress, visionary papers, experimental papers, and demos.
Papers should describe original work, previously unpublished, and not
currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.

Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:

* Network architecture, protocols and algorithms for multi-Gbps
mmWave communications
* Low power mmWave radio design
* Antenna design and beamforming techniques
* mmWave band channel modeling
* Physical layer techniques for mmWave systems
* MAC Design for multi-Gbps networks
* Wire-like QoS support for BW hungry, delay stringent multimedia
applications
* Security challenges and techniques for short-range license-free
communication
* Cross layer design for support of high performance
applications
* Integration of mmWave communication with existing wireless
technologies
* mmWave communication in new application domains
