*******************************************************************

Scope:

    The wireless industry is currently facing new challenges to satisfy
the needs of a rapidly growing customer base. The  rising competition is
driving wireless companies to lower cost and distinguish themselves by
offering value-added services.  It is expected that as adoption of new
wireless technologies and standards grows, will drive the need for
guaranteeing  quality of service (QoS). The issue of QoS provisioning
and enforcement has become a critical area of concern for suppliers  of
wireless access equipment vendors, networks service providers, and
customers.

Symposium Topics

    Topics include but are not limited to

        * Wireless QoS network models

        * QoS specification and metrics for wireless networks

        * Packet scheduling algorithms for wireless network environments

        * QoS in meshed (multi-hop) wireless networks

        * QoS in mobile ad hoc networks (Manet)

        * QoS support in wireless LANs, wireless PANs, and WiMAX (IEEE 802.11/15/16/20)

        * Maintaining QoS for roaming users

        * Architectures and algorithms for QoS-enabled wireless access points

        * Cross-layer delay and error control

        * Cross-layer optimization for improved wireless network QoS
