NGWMN 2013 - The 6-th International Workshop on Next Generation of Wireless and Mobile Networks (NGWMN-2013)

The internetworking of different types of wireless and mobile networks aims to provide seamless services for the mobile users among different type of networks. Due to the heterogeneity of different radio access techniques, different types of traffic and applications, Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee also becomes a critical issue for an integrated wireless and mobile network. Therefore, this workshop will provide a timely technical forum for the dissemination of new results in this exciting research area and is devoted to the architectures, protocols, resource management, mobility management, and scheduling in integrated wireless and mobile networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Architecture of integrated heterogamous networks
Handoff and mobility management
Integration of heterogeneous networks
Resource management
Multi-interface access protocols
QoS provisioning
Cross-layer design and optimization
Load balancing and activity scheduling
MAC protocols
Network management and planning
