IP-Based Cellular Networks (IPCN) 2001


The Fourth Generation Cellular Networks

All-IP cellular networks are currently considered by the
wireless/cellular industry.Building and designing such networks that
mainly rely on the IP protocol is still a challenge and drain a lot
of research and developpement activities by industry and academic
research laboratories. The objectives of IPCN 2001 is to provide a
state of the art of the current research and developpement progress
and to present an overview of the current IETF and 3GPP activities in
this area.

IPCN 2001 will take place in Paris on May 15 to 18. The conference
will convene the most eminent specialists in these emerging
technologies. Most of them work in the research world. However large
companies as well as service providers will also be on hand to
explain their own approach.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Topics include but are not limited to:

- Mobility Management: Macro and Micro mobility management schemes
- Fast Handoff mechanisms Context transfer IP Paging Security and AAA
- issues Header Compression protocols Administration/Deployement
- issues Third or fourth Generation Systems... IPv6 3GPP activities
- IETF current works

Technical papers and/or product demos are solicited in all areas
related to all-IP wireless networks.

DEAD LINE

Abstracts must not exceed one page.  They may be submitted in PDF,
