Scope
-----
Nowadays, there is a clear steep growth in research interests in wireless
and
mobile communication systems as an inexpensive and promising means for
ubiquitous
communications. Mobile broadband wireless is an important sub-area of this
research,
which focuses on enabling physical layer technologies to support third
generation
as well as future broadband mobile systems. Even though this sub-area
holds great
promises for our future, there are several challenges that need to be
addressed.

Topics of Interest
------------------
This workshop focuses on all topics related to Broadband Wireless Internet
Access
(BWIA), including Mobile BWIA, with focus on protocols, architectures,
algorithms,
resource management, technologies, applications, practical experiences,
simulation
results and analysis, theory and validation. Expected topics include, but
are not
limited to:
- New architectures, technologies, protocols for broadband wireless access

- Medium access control and QoS
- Security and privacy issues
- Service level agreements
- Radio extension such as 802.xx (WiFi, WiMax, etc)
- Modulation, coding and antennas (MIMO)
- UMTS and extensions
- Scalability and reliability issues
- Wireless mesh networks
- Optical wireless access networks
- QoS in mobile and broadband wireless access networks
- Radio Resource Management and call admission control
- Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering
- Physical and Data link layer Issues
- Space-time coding for broadband wireless Internet
- Spectrum management
- Interoperability aspects (fixed/mobile LANs/MANs, WANs)
- Micro and macro mobility Management
- 3G/4G Wireless Technologies
- Cross-layer interactions and optimization
- Network and resource management
- Experiences/lessons from recent deployments
