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Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished works on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
