INTRODUCTION
The wireless communication technologies have evolved quickly over the past years. As the explosive growth in broadband wireless networks, multimedia applications will dominate the future wireless communication society, resulting in non-trivial problems in terms of available capacity, reliability, quality-of-service, delay, and throughput.
To successfully support wireless multimedia applications, it is necessary to improve the state-of-the-art techniques (such as radio resource management, mobility, handoff, and location management, etc.) in the multimedia transmission over wireless networks in order to provide quality-of-service guarantees between the end-users and achieve a high quality-of-experience for end-users.
This workshop will address the important problems and challenges caused by the transmission of multimedia applications over wireless networks. The workshop aims to bring together computer scientists and engineers in different disciplines to share and exchange their experience and ideas and discuss state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of wireless networks and multimedia applications.
The topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
Ultra-Wideband Networks
Wireless Ad Hoc and Mesh Networks
Wireless Personal Area Networks
Wireless Local Area Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks
Cellular Networks
WiMAX
Optical Wireless Access Networks
Mobile Computing and Wireless Communications
Future Wireless Networks and Protocols
Multimedia Communications and Services
Congestion and Admission Control
Wireless MAC Protocols: Design and Analysis
Quality of Service Provisioning
Wireless Network Trust, Privacy and Security
Software Defined Radio & Software Defined Networking
