CALL FOR PAPERS<br>
<br>
10th IEEE Broadband Wireless Access Workshop<br>
(BWA 2014)<br>
<br>
<a href=" http://ieee-bwaws.nginet.de/GLOBECOM2014/" target="_blank">http://ieee-bwaws.nginet.de/GLOBECOM2014/</a><br>
<br>
Austin, Texas, US - December, 12th, 2014<br>
<br>
In conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2014<br>
<br>

<br>
Aims and Topics<br>
==========<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
.Novel application and communication scenarios for BWA <br>
Novel models for traffic, mobility, signal propagation, and multi-storied dwelling and context aware communication.<br>
<br>
.Novel physical layer transmission and reception techniques<br>
New waveforms, non-orthogonal multiple access schemes, PHY concepts facilitating MTC and direct device-to-device (D2D)<br>
<br>
<br>
.Novel MAC design for BWA<br>
Flexible and programmable MAC, collaborative and cooperative MAC schemes, MAC for user/control plane split, MAC for centralized/decentralized schemes<br>
<br>
.Further evolution of multi-antenna and cooperative communications<br>
Massive MIMO, interference alignment techniques, full-duplex radio<br>
<br>
.Management of dense, heterogeneous and complex networks<br>
Interference and mobility management, Integration of cloud services in HetNets, Service and energy management for cloud based HetNets<br>
<br>
.Novel forms of spectrum access and usage<br>
Cognitive and dynamic spectrum management techniques, backhaul access links technologies, Energy efficiency trade-offs, resource allocation techniques for HetNets<br>
<br>
.Novel BWA architecture concepts<br>
Architectures for B4G networks and RAN, cross-layer optimization techniques, QoS/QoE management, cellular network congestion management schemes<br>
<br>
.Pragmatic assessment and experimental evaluation of BWA concepts<br>
Lab-/field trial results and their comparison to simulation and stochastic geometry based analysis<br>
Economical assessment of BWA concepts<br>
<br>
<br>
Paper Submission, Registration, and Publication <br>
==============================<br>
<br>
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 ).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
At least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate.<br>
<br>
You can submit your paper using EDAS at the BWA Workshop submission link.<br>
