======================================================

Currently, two operational quality of service (QoS) models are proposed for the
Internet: Integrated Services (IntServ) aided with Resource Reservation
Protocol (RSVP), and Differentiated Services (DiffServ). The IntServ model aims
to guarantee the QoS in a manner of end-to-end fine granularity, but its
scalability is impaired by the need to maintain per-flow state at each core
router. The DiffServ model attempts to resolve the scalability problem by
replacing the per-flow service with an aggregate-class, per hop service, while
pushing the per-flow state management to edge routers. Extending such QoS
paradigms to Wireless Cellular Networks (WCNs) is an important step towards
achieving all-IP networking. Enhanced Radio Resource Management (RRM)
techniques are needed to improve system performance by maximizing the overall
system capacity and maintaining the QoS of multimedia traffic. RRM in present
cellular systems has essentially been optimized for voice services. However,
this is not valid when IP-based QoS is to be supported. QoS requirements can be
parameterized in terms of service guarantees and/or service differentiation of
throughput, delay, delay variation (jitter), loss and error rates, security
guarantees, etc. Therefore, the need for enhanced RRM strategies to enable
IP-based QoS provisioning becomes more important.

We are seeking high quality papers representing state-of-the-art research in
the next generation of wireless cellular networks dealing with radio resource
management strategies for IP-based QoS provisioning. Papers should describe
original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another
conference, workshop or journal. Paper length should not exceed 25 double
spaced pages with reasonable margins and a font size of no less than 11pt,
including figures and references, and should include an abstract, not to exceed
250 words. Papers should be submitted in PDF or Postscript by e-mail to
3GIPQoS@cs.queensu.ca. Submissions should include a cover page with authors'
names, affiliations, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. All papers
will be peer reviewed.

Provisioning of multimedia wireless cellular networks and services
3G/4G multimedia wireless cellular network management
RSVP extensions to wireless networks
