First IEEE International Workshop on
Radio Resource Management for Wireless Cellular Networks (RRM-WCN)

URL: http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~nasser/conferences/index.htm

In conjunction with
24th International Performance, Computing, and Communications Conference
(IPCCC) http//ipccc.org/

April 7-9, 2005    Phoenix, Arizona

 

Scope:

Radio Resource Management (RRM) in present cellular systems has essentially
been optimized for voice services. However, this is not valid if Wireless
Multimedia Services (WMSs) are to be supported, since these have different
traffic characteristics that need to meet their Quality of Service (QoS)
requirements. These QoS can be parameterized as throughput, delay, delay
variation (jitter), loss and error rates, security guarantees, etc.
Therefore, the need for new RRM strategies to satisfy diverse QoS
requirements of WMSs becomes more important.

 

In this workshop, we intend to address and discuss the technical challenges,
ideas, views, and research results in the next generation of wireless
cellular networks dealing with radio resource management strategies for
wireless multimedia services.

 

Topics:

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-    Provisioning of multimedia wireless cellular networks and services
-    3G/4G multimedia wireless cellular network management
-    Management issues for billing wireless multimedia services
-    Policy-based management for wireless multimedia services
-    Quality-of-service scheduling and admission control
-    Mobility management
-    Modeling and analysis of QoS
-    Performance evaluation of multimedia wireless cellular networks
-    Delay and jitter management for wireless multimedia services
-    Multimedia traffic modeling and characterization
-    Handoff management
-    Bandwidth reservation schemes
-    Adaptive QoS control for wireless multimedia
-    Dynamic resource adaptation and system optimization for multimedia services
-    Dynamic bandwidth management
-    Wireless multimedia service security
-    System modeling and performance evaluation
-    Load, admission, and flow control
-    Implementation and test-bed experiments
