 1st International Workshop on Broadband Wireless Internet and Next
Generation Networks Access (BWINA 2013), in conjunction with AINA 2013,
Barcelona, Spain, March 25-28, 2013

Purpose and Scope:
In the recent years, the advent of new and powerful Broadband Wireless
Access (BWA) technologies has open the path to a clear steep growth in
research interests in wireless mobile communication systems as an
inexpensive and promising means for ubiquitous communications, leading to
a fundamental change in Internet access. These emerging technologies have
a great potential for ubiquitous wireless network access anywhere and
anytime, with the goal to deliver telecommunication services, including
wireless services over the Internet and the Next Generation Networks.
However, due to the heterogeneous nature of networks, devices and
services, ubiquitous multi-hop wireless access technologies introduce new
research challenges in all areas of network, including protocol stack,
security, interoperability, deployment, architectures, performance, to
name a few. This workshop provides an international forum for the research
community in the above-mentioned research areas. It will cover various
aspects of BWA technologies, including but not limited to:
        Architectures, technologies, protocols for BWA
        Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks
        IMT-Advanced Networks
        Self-configuring Cellular Networks
        Medium Access Control and QoS
        Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering
        Interference Management (Coordination, Mitigation, Randomization)
        Security and Privacy issues
        Service Level Agreements
        Broad- and Multicast Support in BWA networks
        Characterization, Modeling of BWA Traffic, Mobility and Channels
        Modulation, Coding and Antennas (MIMO)
        Energy-awareness and Efficiency of BWA Technologies
        Scalability and Reliability Issues
        BWA Technologies such as 802.16x, 802.20, UMTS, etc, and their
Extensions
        Mesh and Relay Networks (IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.16j, etc.)
        Wireless Network Management
        Cognitive Radio and Dynamic Spectrum Access
        Cooperative Networks, Repeaters and Relaying
        Wireless Mesh Networks
        QoS in Mobile and BWA Networks
        Optical Wireless Access Networks
        Vertical and Horizontal Integration
        Radio Resource Management, Admission Control, Power Control and
Scheduling
        Network and Resource Management
        Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering
        Physical and Data Link Layer Issues
        Space-Time Coding for Broadband Wireless Internet
        Spectrum Management
        Interoperability Aspects (Fixed/Mobile LANs/MANs, WANs)
        Micro and Macro Mobility Management
        3G/4G Wireless Technologies
        Experimental Evaluation of Cross-Layer Interactions
        Cross-Layer Interactions and Optimization Approaches
        Wireless Next Generation Networks Architectures and Trends
        BWA Implementations in Next Generation Networks
        Large-scale and Heterogeneous BWA Evaluations
        Multi-Antenna Technologies (MIMO, Beamforming, Antenna Selection,
etc)
        Design and Evaluation of Test-beds and Field Trails
        Applications and Multimedia Support (e.g. Vehicle-2-X
Communications)
