CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------

 
Invited Session on
Architecture and Protocols for Next Generation Mobile Networks
at
the 8th World Multi-Conference on SYSTEMICS, CYBERNETICS AND INFORMATICS
(SCI 2004)
July 18-21, 2004, Orlando, Florida (USA)

 

Scope

 
With the convergence of the telecom, datacom and mobile communications,
there is a need for overhaul of network architecture and protocols to
accommodate heterogeneous radio links, to enable new applications and
services, and to support seamless interworking of emerging and existing
network elements. Next-generation (4G or beyond 3G) mobile networks promise
to offer not only high-rate reliable radio and large system capacity but
also more flexible network architecture, low system cost and new services.
It will close the gap between the wireless and wired Internet, and integrate
various radio access technologies under IP, including 3G cellular, wireless
LAN, wireless PAN, ad hoc mobile networks and sensor networks. New
applications and services will be introduced with QoS support, including
broadband mobile multimedia, peer-to-peer services, collaborative services,
location-aware and identity-aware information delivery, and etc. This
transition in wireless network infrastructure presents many technical
challenges and research topics. 
 

This special session at SCI 2004 is intended to provide a forum for
researchers and practitioners to present their contributions as technical
papers related to architectures, protocols and applications, applicable to
the next-generation wireless and mobile networks. Possible topics of
interest include, but are not limited to 


Architectures and protocols for next-generation mobile network
Integration of wired and wireless networks
Inter-networking and inter-service roaming between different radio access systems
Signaling and control
Network management
Session management
Mobility management
QoS issues
Authentication, admission and confidentiality
Resource management
Seamless evolution to 4G
Related standards (3GPP, 3G.IP, ETSI, IETF?)
Mobile multicasting 
Novel applications for 4G mobile networks
