9th
International Workshop on
Broadband Wireless Access
In conjunction with IEEE
GLOBECOM 2013,9-13 December 2013, Atlanta, USA
In the next
decade, we will not only see an exponential increase in the demand of wireless
broadband capacity, with predictions on traffic growth ranging from x100 to
x1000, but we will also see a large diversification in the applications and
communication scenarios requiring broadband wireless access. With the advent of
the Internet of Things, at least an order of magnitude more devices will
require wireless connectivity anytime and anywhere with the cloud. On the other
hand, it is likely to see more localized and context-aware communication
between humans or devices in close proximity, where direct but network-facilitated
device-to-device communication will play a bigger role, and where hence the
classical function split between the cloud, network infrastructure and devices
may have to be rethought. The question arises whether the evolution of current
standards such as LTE-Advanced is sufficient to address these needs, or if more
radical, possibly non-backward compatible approaches are needed.
The 9th BWA full day workshop will provide a forum for
the exchange and discussion of new research results and for the pragmatic
assessment of the usage of innovative technologies in the BWA domain. It will
cover a broad range of topics including, but not limited to, those listed
below:
·
Novel application and
communication scenarios for BWA
o Novel traffic and mobility
models
o Outdoor to indoor models,
models for multi-storied dwelling units
o Applications based on data
processing in local network infrastructure (edge computing)
o Context / application-aware
communication
·
Novel physical layer
transmission and reception techniques
o New waveforms
o Non-orthogonal (and
quasi-orthogonal) multiple access schemes
o PHY concepts facilitating
machine-type comm. (MTC) and direct device-to-device (D2D)
·
Novel MAC design for BWA
o Flexible and programmable MAC
design
o Collaborative / cooperative
MAC schemes
o MAC for user / control plane
split in BWA
o MAC for centralized /
decentralized communication schemes (e.g. Cloud RAN)
·
Further evolution of
multi-antenna and cooperative communications
o Massive MIMO communications
o Interference alignment
techniques
o Full-duplex radio
·
Management of dense,
heterogeneous and complex networks
o Novel interference and
mobility management concepts
o Energy- and
utilization-efficient networks
o Interference and mobility
management in the context of MTC or D2D communication
o Novel cell concepts, for
instance based on user / control plane split
·
Novel forms of spectrum
access and usage
o Cognitive and Dynamic
Spectrum Management Techniques
o Usage of mm-Wave for backhaul
and access links
o Dynamic/opportunistic carrier
aggregation schemes
·
Novel BWA architecture
concepts
o Architecture proposals for
beyond 4G networks
o Novel cloud RAN architecture
concepts
o Cross-layer optimization
techniques and E2E and network-based QoS/QoE management
o Cellular network congestion
management schemes
·
Pragmatic assessment and
experimental evaluation of BWA concepts
o Lab-/field trial results and
their comparison to simulation and stochastic geometry based analysis
o Economical assessment of BWA
concepts
Papers should follow the
2-column IEEE conference template and may not exceed 6 pages (an additional 7th
page is possible, but requires a 100$ paper overlength fee upon paper
acceptance), and be submitted through the EDAS paper submission website.
Accepted papers will be available at IEEEXplore. At
least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the full
registration rate.
