    Resource Management Optimization for Heterogeneous Next Generation
Wireless Access Networks

    http://camad2012.av.it.pt/ss_RMOHNGWAN.html

    Next generation communications will be composed of flexible,
multi-tier, and scalable architectures. High user mobility and dynamic
management policies that ensure end-to-end reliable and secure support of
new services are key towards the adoption of the enabling technologies. In
wireless networks, the medium alone creates additional challenges for
efficiently providing QoS, due to its broadcast nature and uncertainty.
Meanwhile, the proliferation of new services in the mobile market is
driving the QoS requirements higher (in terms of performance indicators
such as throughput, delay, jitter, error rate, network coverage etc). Thus,
an important challenge in future wireless communications is how to design
and run a cost efficient network in order to optimize the key performance
indicators that will support the user requirements.

    Resource management and planning are sets of key mechanisms that enable
the efficient and effective operation of wireless networks, aiming to
minimize the impact of interference and maximize the overall network
performance. For next generation networks, where multiple heterogeneous
networks (both in terms of network elements and in term of access
technologies) will co-exist in the same geographical area, these mechanisms
will be of key importance not only for a single network operation but for
the smooth network cooperation, the optimal use of wireless spectrum and
the provision of high quality services to the users. Taking into account
the requirements, applications, and users, the developed mechanisms should
be optimized in terms of performance, scalability, robustness, flexibility
and energy efficiency. The purpose of this session is to bring together
researchers focusing on resource management and optimization within the
context of heterogeneous wireless networking.

    Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished
works on the following research topics, but not limited to:

    ?         Access network architectures and protocols optimization
towards next generation wireless networks

    ?         Resource management mechanisms for future heterogeneous
networks

    ?         Network planning

    ?         Context and location awareness

    ?         Future wireless services and applications

    ?         Quality of service in future heterogeneous networks

    ?         Optimized and robust dynamic spectrum access

    ?         Reliable and optimized spectrum sharing in next generation
networks

    ?         Performance modeling of future networks

    ?         Scalability, robustness and resilience

    ?         Security, privacy and trust in next generation dynamic
spectrum access networks

    ?         Cross-layer design and optimization

    ?         Co-existence issues of future heterogeneous networks

    ?         Heterogeneous network simulation models and techniques
