submit original, high quality research papers addressing the below stated
areas.

* SCOPE:
In the last decade, telecommunication has experienced a tremendous success
causing proliferation of new applications which have increased the demand
for both cellular and ubiquitous heterogeneous broadband mobile wireless
networks. However, traditional cellular network is not capable of
accommodating huge amount of high data traffic users. It furthermore
suffers from the so-called cell-edge problem where users at the cell
boarders are subject to low throughput due to pathloss and diverse
propagation conditions to multiple cells yielding co-channel interference.
To address these issues, coordinated multi-point (CoMP)
transmission/reception and heterogeneous networks (HetNET) play a key role
for future cellular networks. In the CoMP technique, adjacent cells
coordinate to transmit towards cell-edge users to solve the cell-edge
problem. On the other hand, deployment of heterogeneity in the network is
seen as one of the most promising solutions to support the increasing data
traffic demand, offloading macrocell traffic, reducing the carbon
footprint, and lowering operators OPEX/CAPEX expenditures. Future CoMP and
HetNET are based on the idea of deploying short-range, low-power and
low-cost base stations and encompass a mix of cell types, such as micro,
pico, femto cells as well as advanced wireless relays and distributed
antennas.
* TOPICS AREAS:
This one full-day workshop is co-located with the IEEE Personal Indoor and
Mobile Radio Communications Conference
2012 (http://www.ieee-pimrc.org/). The main objective of the workshop is to
offer an opportunity for academic and
industrial researchers for spreading and sharing results and understanding
for making communications networks more
energy efficient than they are today. Topics of interest may include, but
are not limited to the following:
- Downlink coordinated multipoint transmission
- Limited feedback techniques including channel state and network state
feedback
- User scheduling and resource allocation techniques
- Cooperation set clustering
- Antenna design facilitating CoMP and multiuser MIMO
- CoMP cell planning
- Cellular topology considering Remote Radio Head
- Base station backbone topology, signalling and protocols
- Base station synchronization (frequency/time)
- Self-organizing networks and reinforcement learning
- Protocols and protocol extensions to enable energy efficient networks
- Traffic engineering
- Cognitive, cooperative and reconfigurable networks
- Efficient management of terminal equipment
- Interference-aware radio planning
- Low electro magnetic exposure
- Regulatory aspects (e.g., co-existence, new spectrum, lawful
interception) and business cases
- Mobility management and handoffs
- Backhaul and networking issues
- Massive MIMO vs. dense heterogeneous networks
- Trade-offs between femtocells, picocells, advanced relays, and
distributed antenna systems
- Channel and interference models
- Network load balance and smart information storage in distributed networks
- Game theoretical techniques for future heterogeneous networks
- eICIC techniques for heterogeneous networks
- Energy evaluation and comparison of heterogeneous network technologies
- Regulation and standardization
- Energy-aware radio planning
- Energy efficient mechanisms in heterogeneous networks
- Open and closed access operation modes
- Interference analysis, avoidance, and mitigation for heterogeneous
networks
* SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers should be written in English and be six (6) printed pages long
maximum using 10 point font and including figures (a maximum of one (1)
additional page can be added at an extra charge, if accepted). Please note
that you may not reduce the length of paper submitted for review after it
is accepted. Papers need to be uploaded to the EDAS (http://edas.info/N12349).
Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore and orally presented
at the workshop. For more information about paper submission, please visit
conference web site (http://www.icwdn.org/).
