HNIT 2015 - Workshop on Heterogeneous Networking for the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things will span from WSAN (Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks), and M2M communication, to security frameworks and service models, while next generation wireless access networks will be composed of flexible, multi-tier, and scalable heterogeneous architectures, incorporating small cells, offloading techniques, and optimized protocols for cellular IoT. Thus, an important challenge in future wireless communications is how to design and run cost efficient networks that optimize the key performance indicators to support the requirements of these services.The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers focusing on resource management and optimization within the context of heterogeneous wireless networking. The technical focus will be focused on the communications aspects and key enabling technologies in future HetNets for IoT, especially M2M communications and offloading, as well as applications with a core focus on Intelligent Transportation System (ITS).
