MadCom 2016 - International Workshop on New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things

For the last two decades radio frequency (RF) has been at the core of the revolution enabling wireless communication for the Internet of Things (IoT). But RF communication has been a victim of its own success, the ever increasing number of devices joining the IoT are saturating the RF bandwidth. We need alternative ways to exploit RF technology and to use other means to transmit data wirelessly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities to discuss and explore novel wireless communication technologies for the IoT.
Scope
The workshop will consist of a keynote, presentations of short papers and an open discussion session. The short papers can be of a technical nature, presenting preliminary technical results, or position papers presenting a thought-provoking view regarding methods or applications for novel wireless communication technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
backscatter communication
visible light communication
magnetic induction communication
infrared communication
laser communication
camera-based communication
thermal-based communication
acoustic communication
applications for novel wireless communication methods
new platforms
theoretical models
new communication methods with RF signals
new network stacks (MAC, Routing) for novel communication technologies
