Submission Deadline---April 1, 2015
Submission Guidelines:
===
The IEEE Globecom 2015 website provides full instructions on how to submit papers.
You will select the desired symposium when submitting.
Scope and Motivation:
===
Access networks and systems use great variety of technologies
to deliver many services and functions. The complexity of such
systems combined with increased user expectations both in bandwidth
and quality continue to make this field one of the most challenging.
Recent developments in SDN and Network Function Virtualization will
find their applications in Access; however, the concrete benefits
from these innovative solutions remain to be seen.
The motivation of the Access Systems and Networks (ASN) Track of
the Symposium on Selected Areas on Communications is to provide
a platform that attracts engineers, practitioners, scientists and
researchers from all over the world to present their new ideas, views,
innovations, deployments, and implementations in all aspects of the field.
Papers on practical applications and R&D results from industry and
academic/industrial collaborations are particularly encouraged.
To ensure complete coverage of the advances in this field, the ASN Track
of the SAC Symposium solicits original contributions in, but not limited to,
the following topical areas:
