 10th IEEE Broadband Wireless Access Workshop
                                  (BWA 2014)

 In conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2014

 Aims and Topics
 ==========

 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 full day workshop will build upon the success of the  previous editions of this workshop (www.bwaws.org). The workshop will provide 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
        Novel models  for traffic, mobility, signal propagation, and multi-storied dwelling  and context aware communication.

 .Novel physical layer transmission and reception techniques
          New waveforms, non-orthogonal multiple access schemes, PHY  concepts facilitating MTC and  direct device-to-device (D2D)

 .Novel MAC design for BWA
          Flexible and programmable MAC, collaborative and cooperative  MAC schemes, MAC for user/control plane split, MAC for centralized/decentralized  schemes

 .Further evolution of multi-antenna and cooperative communications
          Massive MIMO, interference alignment techniques, full-duplex  radio

 .Management of dense, heterogeneous and complex networks
          Interference and mobility management, Integration of cloud  services in HetNets, Service and energy management for cloud based HetNets

 .Novel forms of spectrum access and usage
          Cognitive and dynamic spectrum management techniques,  backhaul access links technologies,  Energy efficiency trade-offs, resource allocation techniques for HetNets

 .Novel BWA architecture concepts
          Architectures for B4G networks and RAN, cross-layer  optimization techniques, QoS/QoE management, cellular network congestion management schemes

 .Pragmatic assessment and experimental evaluation of BWA concepts
          Lab-/field trial results and their comparison to simulation  and stochastic geometry based analysis
          Economical assessment of BWA concepts

 Paper Submission, Registration, and Publication
 ==============================

 Submitted papers must represent original material that is not  currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not  been previously published. All submissions should be written in  English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures without incurring additional page charges  (maximum 1 additional page with overlength page charge if accepted ).

 Note that the maximum number of pages for a paper is 7; 6 pages plus 1  additional page allowed with a charge for the one additional page of USD100 if accepted. Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor  reviewed at all. Please see the Author Information page for submission  guidelines in the IEEE GLOBECOM 2014 website.

 The paper should be used as basis for a 15 minute workshop presentation or a poster presentation. Papers should be submitted in pdf format by selecting Globecom 2014 workshops  at EDAS paper submission website, and then selecting the BWA-Workshop  submission link.

 All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three experts and if  accepted, published in the conference proceedings, which will be  available at IEEEeXplore and registered in Engineering Index (EI).

 At least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the  full registration rate.

 You can submit your paper using EDAS at the BWA Workshop submission link.
