IEEE WORKSHOP ON BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS (BWA),

AIMS AND TOPICS:
Internet access is undergoing a fundamental change.
Users expect to access through different wireless devices and access
technologies a diverse range of services and applications anytime, anywhere.
Driven by a new generation of devices (smart phone, netbook, etc.), capacity
demand increases faster than spectral efficiency improvement, in particular at
hot spots/areas. However, the huge increase in demand cannot easily be met by current
radio access systems. Hence, there is a need for more powerful, more efficient,
higher speed, lower cost radio technologies and architectures for Broadband
Wireless Access (BWA).
There is significant effort within the community to
develop more advanced BWA technologies - activities span the wireless domain,
ranging from more advanced antenna technologies and cooperative relays, to mesh
networking systems and many more: future networks will likely employ some mix
of these different mechanisms. New BWA standards are now available, such as
LTE-A and IEEE 802.16m. The 8th BWA full day workshop will continue the success
of the previous editions, providing a forum for the exchange and discussion of
new research results and practical experiences working with innovative
technologies in the BWA domain.
This full day workshop will be interested to a broad
range of topics including, but not limited to, those listed below.
