Scope
Wireless networks are expected to encompass heterogeneous access technologies and the Internet backbone
for providing services to both mobile and stationary users. The Wireless Networks Symposium will focus on
topics related to all aspects of PHY/MAC layer, Network layer, Transport layer, as well as Cross-layer. The
objective of this symposium is to serve as an international forum for experts from academia, industry and
government to exchange ideas and results on research and development, and to promote and accelerate
standardization and services of current and future wireless networks. This symposium presents original
contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas:
??4G and beyond wireless networks

Short biography of co-chairs
Jun Li
Jun Li received his Ph.D. degree from the School of Mathematics and Statistics of Carleton University,
Canada, in 2008. Dr. Li joined the Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC) in 2009 and has
been a research scientist at CRC since then. He has published more than forty conference and journal
papers. His research interests include wireless network protocol design, modeling/analysis/simulation
for wireless (mobile) networks, and communication network performance evaluation/optimization. Dr.
Li is a member of the technical program committees of many international conferences including IEEE
ICC, IEEE GLOBECOM, IEEE WCNC, IEEE ICCCN and MILCOM. He serves as Publication Chair
on the International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (ADHOCNETS 2012, 2013) and as Symposium
Co-Chair of the Network Algorithms and Performance Evaluation symposium on the second
International Conference on Computing, Networking, and Communications (ICNC'2013). He is a
Senior Member of IEEE serving as Vice Chair of the Joint Chapter of Signal Processing, Oceanic
Engineering, and Geoscience and Remote Sensing (SP/OE/GRS) of the IEEE Ottawa Section.
