** *Submission Deadline: November 25, 2012* 1st International Workshop on Broadband Wireless Internet and Next Generation Networks Access (BWINA 2013), in conjunction with AINA 2013, Barcelona, Spain, March 25-28, 2013
http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/iwoungan/BWINA2013/ Purpose and Scope: In the recent years, the advent of new and powerful Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technologies has open the path to a clear steep growth in research interests in wireless mobile communication systems as an inexpensive and promising means for ubiquitous communications, leading to a fundamental change in Internet access. These emerging technologies have a great potential for ubiquitous wireless network access anywhere and anytime, with the goal to deliver telecommunication services, including wireless services over the Internet and the Next Generation Networks. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of networks, devices and services, ubiquitous multi-hop wireless access technologies introduce new research challenges in all areas of network, including protocol stack, security, interoperability, deployment, architectures, performance, to name a few. This workshop provides an international forum for the research community in the above-mentioned research areas. It will cover various aspects of BWA technologies, including but not limited to: . Architectures, technologies, protocols for BWA . Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks . IMT-Advanced Networks . Self-configuring Cellular Networks . Medium Access Control and QoS . Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering . Interference Management (Coordination, Mitigation, Randomization) . Security and Privacy issues . Service Level Agreements . Broad- and Multicast Support in BWA networks . Characterization, Modeling of BWA Traffic, Mobility and Channels . Modulation, Coding and Antennas (MIMO) . Energy-awareness and Efficiency of BWA Technologies . Scalability and Reliability Issues . BWA Technologies such as 802.16x, 802.20, UMTS, etc, and their Extensions . Mesh and Relay Networks (IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.16j, etc.) . Wireless Network Management . Cognitive Radio and Dynamic Spectrum Access . Cooperative Networks, Repeaters and Relaying . Wireless Mesh Networks . QoS in Mobile and BWA Networks . Optical Wireless Access Networks . Vertical and Horizontal Integration . Radio Resource Management, Admission Control, Power Control and Scheduling . Network and Resource Management . Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering . Physical and Data Link Layer Issues . Space-Time Coding for Broadband Wireless Internet . Spectrum Management . Interoperability Aspects (Fixed/Mobile LANs/MANs, WANs) . Micro and Macro Mobility Management . 3G/4G Wireless Technologies . Experimental Evaluation of Cross-Layer Interactions . Cross-Layer Interactions and Optimization Approaches . Wireless Next Generation Networks Architectures and Trends . BWA Implementations in Next Generation Networks . Large-scale and Heterogeneous BWA Evaluations . Multi-Antenna Technologies (MIMO, Beamforming, Antenna Selection, etc) . Design and Evaluation of Test-beds and Field Trails .
