Aims and Topics
===============

In 1961, Claude Shannon established the foundation for the discipline now
known as "multi-user information theory" in his pioneering paper "Two-way
Communication Channels", and later Norman Abramson published his paper "The
Aloha System - Another Alternative for Computer Communications" in 1970
which introduced the concept of multiple access using a shared common
channel. Thereafter for more than 40 years of study, numerous elegant
theories and algorithms have been developed for multiple access techniques.

The aim of this workshop is to discuss both multi-user communications
theory and multiple access techniques and standardization activities in
areas related to PHY and MAC layer protocols - and their interactions - for
contemporary networks. We intend to provide the experts from both the
academic institutes and industry with an opportunity to present their
state-of-the-art results and exchange the ideas on multiple access
techniques and related areas:

* PHY-layer multiple access techniques.
* Link-layer MAC access protocols.
* PHY/MAC cross-layer techniques.
* Multi-user information theory.
* Modeling, simulation and analysis techniques (Queuing theory, Game
theory, etc.)

The MACOM 2012 event has special interest to address the new paradigms and
theoretical foundations for next-generation wireless communication systems.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Smart, adaptive and self-configurable MAC/PHY protocols.
* Cooperative & collaborative MAC/PHY protocols.
* MAC/PHY protocols for multi-hop and relay-based networks.
* Cognitive radio networks, software radio, dynamic spectrum access and
channel bonding techniques.
* MAC/PHY protocols supporting MIMO, spatial multiplexing and transmit
diversity techniques.
* Energy-aware MAC/PHY protocols.
* Scheduling and radio resource management, including inter and intra
network coexistence techniques.
* MAC/PHY solutions for M2M-type communications in Broadband Wireless
Networks (LTE, WIMAX).
