Scope of the Symposium


Wireless networks are expected to encompass heterogeneous access technologies and the Internet backbone for providing services to both mobile and stationary users. It poses significant technical challenges to enable broadband wireless access with seamless and ubiquitous coverage and quality-of-service provisioning. 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, applications, and services of current and future wireless networks. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions on all aspects of wireless networks, applications and services, including, but not limited to, the following topics of interest. Please note that this symposium focuses on research problems above the physical layer (although papers on cross-layer design/optimization are welcome). Papers solely addressing wirele!
ss communications problems at the physical layer should be submitted to other relevant symposia of IEEE GC 2011.
