10th
International Workshop on
Broadband Wireless Access
In conjunction with IEEE
GLOBECOM 2014, 8-12 December 2014, Austin, Texas, USA
The last decades brought an exponential increase in needs of internet access
and traffic volume. This will continue with predictions on traffic growth by about a 1000-fold increase by 2020. Hence, wireless communication
networks and mobile user behavior are permanently evolving. In the current revolution of the Internet and 5G networks, people and smart objects
live connected in smart environments. With the emergence of new applications and the development of communication scenarios wireless connectivity
will be required anywhere and at any time. Furthermore, most of the devices requiring wireless access are becoming more and more subject to
constraints in latency or power consumption. New communication scenarios exploiting proximity of wireless devices and context awareness are
gaining increasing attention. Typical examples of new scenarios are device-to-device communication and computation offloading to near devices.
In these contexts, new challenges occur for defining more efficient, higher speed and low cost radio technologies, architectures, and mechanisms
for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA).
The 10th BWA workshop will be a progression of the previous successful editions providing an opportunity for discussing
and exchanging information about novel propositions, research results, and practical experiences in the BWA domain. This full day workshop will
cover a broad range of topics including, but not limited to, those listed below:
·
Novel application and
communication scenarios for BWA
o Novel models for traffic, mobility, signal
propagation and multi-storied dwelling
o Context / application-aware communication
o New scenarios and approaches for wireless 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 Interference and mobility management in the context of MTC or D2D communication
o Integration of cloud-services into green heterogeneous wireless networks
o Service and energy management aspects of cloud-based heterogeneous mobile networks
·
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 Energy efficiency vs. QoS vs. cost-efficiency trade-offs
o Resource allocation techniques; interference analysis, avoidance, and mitigatin for geterogeneous networks
·
Novel BWA architecture
concepts
o Architecture proposals for
beyond 4G networks
o Novel 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.
