CALL FOR PAPERS
(Submission deadline extended to August 22, 2005)
==================================================================
First IEEE International Workshop on
Heterogeneous Wireless Networks: Resource Management and QoS
(HWN-RMQ’06)
http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2006/conf_program/hwn-rmq_workshop/index.htm
In conjunction with
IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC’06)
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, 7-10 January 2006
==================================================================
Scope
The fourth generation (4G) of wireless communications is expected to
integrate a potentially large number of different heterogeneous wireless
technologies in what could be considered a huge step forward towards
universal wireless access and omnipresent computing through seamless
mobility. Even though 4G standard is currently not defined, there are many
current outlooks that delineate the vision of the new wireless technologies.
Based on the emergent trends of mobile communication, 4G will have larger
bandwidth, higher data rates, smoother and quicker handoff and will focus on
guaranteeing faultless service and seamless handoff across a multitude of
wireless networks. The key concept is integrating the 4G capabilities with
all of the existing mobile technologies. Special maneuvers will be necessary
amongst different access systems in terms of horizontal (intra-system) and
vertical (inter-system) handoff as well as seamless mobility, Quality of
Service (QoS), dependability and security.
In this workshop, we solicit high quality papers from leading researchers
that present state-of-the-art research in heterogeneous wireless networks
dealing with resource management techniques and QoS provisioning.
