HWN-RMQ-WiMob 09 2009 - Third International Workshop on Heterogeneous Wireless Networks: Resource Management and QoS (HWN-RMQ-WiMob 09)

Third International Workshop on Heterogeneous Wireless Networks: Resource Management and QoS (HWN-RMQ-WiMob 09)

In conjunction with

October 12th-14th, 2009

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
(intrasystem) 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.
