Call for Papers
Special Session on Hybrid Optical Wireless Networks - HOWANs 2012
24 - 27 July, 2012 - Rome, Italy
In conjunction with the International Conference on Optical
Communication Systems - OPTICS 2012
Scope
--------
Hybrid optical wireless networks (HOWANs) have recently emerged as an
active area of research in the area of communications networks. Such
networks aim to combine the high capacity of optical networks with the
flexibility offered by wireless networks so as to deploy a scalable and
cost efficient access network.
The objective of this session is to capture recent developments and
publish ongoing research activities within this emerging research area.
We encourage submission of both theoretical and application-oriented
research papers that span.
Topics of Interest
------------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Physical layer issues of HOWANs
MAC protocols for HOWANs
Novel architectures for HOWANs
QoS over HOWANs
Emerging applications over HOWANs
Performance evaluation of HOWANs
Security and privacy in HOWANs
