CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS  

9th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS (BWA)
Co-located with IEEE GLOBECOM 2013, 9-13 December, 2013, Atlanta, US

Paper submission deadline: June 25th, 2013

GENERAL

In the next decade, we will not only see an exponential increase in the
demand of wireless broadband capacity, with predictions on traffic growth
ranging from x100 to x1000, but we will also see a large diversification in
the applications and communication scenarios requiring broadband wireless
access. With the advent of the Internet of Things, at least an order of
magnitude more devices will require wireless connectivity anytime and
anywhere with the cloud. On the other hand, it is likely to see more
localized and context-aware communication between humans or devices in
close proximity, where direct but network-facilitated device-to-device
communication will play a bigger role, and where hence the classical
function split between the cloud, network infrastructure and devices may
have to be rethought. The question arises whether the evolution of current
standards such as LTE-Advanced is sufficient to address these needs, or if
more radical, possibly non-backward compatible approaches are needed.


WORKSHOP TOPICS

The 9th Broadband Wireless Access full day workshop will provide a forum
for the exchange and discussion of new research results and for the
pragmatic assessment of the usage of innovative technologies in the
broadband wireless access domain. It will cover a broad range of topics
including, but not limited to:

- Novel application and communication scenarios (Traffic and mobility
models, propagation models for novel deployment scenarios, edge computing,
context and application-aware communication)
- Novel physical layer techniques (New waveforms, non-orthogonal multiple
access schemes, PHY concepts facilitating machine-type communications (MTC)
and direct device-to-device (D2D) communication)
- Novel MAC design for broadband wireless access (Flexible and programmable
MAC design, collaborative and cooperative MAC schemes, MAC for user/control
plane split, MAC for centralized/decentralized schemes)
- Further evolution of multi-antenna and cooperative communications
(Massive MIMO communications, interference alignment techniques,
full-duplex radio)
- Management of dense, heterogeneous networks (Novel interference and
mobility management concepts, possibly incorporating MTC or D2D
communications, novel cell concepts, e.g. regarding user/control plane
split)
- Novel forms of spectrum access and usage (Cognitive and dynamic spectrum
management techniques, mm-Wave for backhaul and access links, dynamic and
opportunistic carrier aggregation schemes)
- Novel broadband wireless access architecture concepts (Architectures for
B4G networks and cloud RAN, cross-layer optimization techniques, QoS/QoE
management, cellular network congestion management schemes)
- Pragmatic assessment / experimental concept evaluation (Lab- / field
trial results and their comparison to simulation and stochastic geometry
based analysis, economical assessment of broadband wireless access concepts)


PAPER SUBMISSION

Paper submission is handled via EDAS (www.edas.info -> Submit paper -> GC13
WS - BWA).
Submitted papers should consist of novel, previously unpublished work, be
written in English, and correspond to the standard IEEE double-column
conference format (see
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
The maximum paper size including figures is 6 pages (a 7th page is possible
but will be charged an additional $100 upon acceptance and when registering
for the workshop). Accepted papers will be available at IEEEXplore. At
least one author of an accepted paper is required to register at the full
registration rate.

Important deadlines are:

Paper submission:               June 25th 2013
Notification of acceptance:     Sept 1st 2013
Camera ready papers:            Oct 1st 2013
