AIMS AND TOPICS

Internet access is undergoing a fundamental change. More powerful devices and lower cost radio technologies are facilitating the transition to the Mobile Internet in which users can access a diverse range of services and applications anytime, anywhere. However, the huge increase in demand that this brings cannot easily be met by current radio access systems. Hence, there is a need for more powerful, more efficient, higher speed, lower cost radio technologies for Broadband Wireless Access.

There is much energy within the community to develop more advanced BWA technologies - activities span the wireless domain, ranging from more advanced antenna technologies to co-operative relays to mesh networking systems and many more: future networks will likely employ some mix of these different mechanisms. We anticipate that this 6th workshop will continue the series of successful workshops, providing a forum for new research results and reports on practical experience working with innovative technologies in the domain of Broadband Wireless Access. The workshop, then, is soliciting contributions including but not limited to topics listed below.

* Incumbent and Future BWA Technologies, UMTS, HSPA, LTE, LTE-Advanced, 802.16x
* Self Configuring and Self Optimizing Networks
* Repeater, Mesh, Relay, Femto and Pico Base Station based Solutions

* Vehicular Networks
* Radio Resource Management, Admission Control, Power Control and Scheduling
* QoS and QoE in Mobile and BWA Networks
* Cross-Layer Optimization Concepts and Experimental Evaluation
* Multi-Antenna Technologies, Beamforming, Antenna Selection, Rank Adaptation, etc.
* Single and Multiuser MIMO Techniques
* Cooperative and Collaborative Networking, Network MIMO
* Interference Mitigation, Cancellation, Coordination and Alignment
* Channel Estimation Techniques

* Wireless Network Management
* Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering
* Characterization of BWA Traffic
* Traffic, Mobility and Channel Models
* Design and Evaluation of Testbeds and Field Trials
* Experiences/Lessons from Recent Deployments
* Large-scale and Heterogeneous BWA Evaluations

* Multi-Access Networks, Vertical and Horizontal Integration
* Interoperability Aspects (Fixed/Mobile LANs/MANs, WANs)
* Micro and Macro Mobility Management
* Multicarrier Operation and Carrier Aggregation
* Spectrum Management, Regulatory Issues
* Cognitive and Dynamic Spectrum Management Techniques

* Alternative Network Deployments, Dense Networking
* Integration of Device to Device Communications to Cellular Networks
* Broadcasting and Multicasting in BWA Networks
