Call For Participation ====================== 5th International Workshop on Multiple Access Communications 19-20 November 2012, Hamilton Institute, NUI Maynooth, Maynooth; Dublin, Ireland http://www.macom.ws
Program ============ - http://www.macom.ws/macom2012_program.html Registration fee ================= - 200 € - http://www.macom.ws/macom2012_registration.html 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). -- Boris Bellalta, PhD Dept. of Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC) Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) http://www.dtic.upf.edu/~bbellalt/ MACOM 2012 Workshop! http://www.macom.ws/ BWA 2012 Workshop! http://www.bwaws.org/ _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
