CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Wireless Networks:
Resource Management and QoS (HWN-RMQ'07)
CCNC 2007 - Satellite Workshop
January 11 2007, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society
The fourth generation (4G) of wireless communications is expected to integrate a
potentially large number of different heterogeneous wireless technologies in what
could be considered a huge step forward towards universal wireless access and
omnipresent computing through seamless mobility. Even though 4G standard is currently
not defined, there are many current outlooks that delineate the vision of the new
wireless technologies. Based on the emergent trends of mobile communication, 4G will
have larger bandwidth, higher data rates, smoother and quicker handoff and will focus
on guaranteeing faultless service and seamless handoff across a multitude of wireless
networks. The key concept is integrating the 4G capabilities with all of the existing
mobile technologies. Special maneuvers will be necessary amongst different access systems
in terms of horizontal (intra-system) and vertical (inter-system) handoff as well as
seamless mobility, Quality of Service (QoS), dependability and security.
In this workshop, we solicit high quality papers from leading researchers that present
state-of-the-art research in heterogeneous wireless networks dealing with resource
management techniques and QoS provisioning.
