-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on Advances in Cooperative Wireless Networking Datum: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 01:17:27 -0500 Von: Xi Zhang <xizhang(a)mail.ece.tamu.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (We apologize if your receive multiple copies of this email) Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative Wireless Networking Over the last few years, fundamental research has demonstrated the great potential of cooperative wireless networking in increasing the system capacity and enlarging the coverage area as well as enhancing the quality-of-service (QoS) by taking advantage of the cooperative diversity and multiplexing. Consequently, cooperative wireless networking has become one of the widely recognized features for the future wireless communication systems. While the conventional research mainly focused on relatively simple cooperative relay topologies or on the cooperation schemes under the existing infrastructure networks, cooperative networking for the future wireless systems has its unique spectrum of features. Specifically, the frequent user cooperation and interaction empower the mobile users with a new role as the mobile-service providers, comparing with their traditional role as only the consumers. In this sense, mobile users' cooperation strategy and decisions are sensitive to not only the QoS requirements of the end users' applications but also their own benefits as rewards for providing the mobile-services. Moreover, the cooperation provided by mobile users does not have to rely heavily on the infrastructure networks. Towards these unique features, many challenges are imposed in cooperative communications for future wireless networks. First, physical-layer signals are required to be capable of achieving cooperative diversity and multiplexing gain across multiple coexisting multi-hop cooperation links. Second, the user cooperation highly depends on the positions of mobile users, which vary frequently and are hard to control by the infrastructure networks. Thus, to gain significant performance improvement through cooperation, distributed medium access control and routing protocols are expected to play the vital role in the fast cooperative-network reconfiguration. Third, since mobile users serve as both service providers and consumers, wireless-resource competition/negotiation strategies among cooperative users and the infrastructure networks become the extremely important issues. Fourth, the user cooperations at different protocol layers have diverse features and challenges, which motivate cross-layer design to develop optimized cooperation schemes. Fifth, given the frequent data exchanging, forwarding, and relaying among mobile users, the trust management and related problems need to be thoroughly studied for secure cooperation with protection of mobile users' privacy. Finally, due to the limited spectrum resources, the combination of user cooperation and the cognitive radio technologies is promising to further achieve significant performance gains. The topic on cooperative networking has attracted intensive attentions from researchers in not only academia, but also industry. Inspired by the attractive features and potential benefit from cooperative networking, industry has made significant efforts on the implementation of cooperative networks. Cooperative relay has been proposed in the 802.16j MMR (Mobile Multi-hop Relay) standard. Also, many coordinated multi-cell space-frequency coding have been suggested in the standardization bodies such as 3GPP LTE. Despite the large amount of research work proposed in recent years, the aforementioned issues for cooperative networking towards future wireless systems still remain open problems. We plan this feature topic to address the urgent need in both industry and the research community to better understand the recent progress and potential research directions on cooperative networking. The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research in various aspects of cooperative wireless networking. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to the followings: * Distributed MIMO technologies for multi-link and multi-hop cooperative wireless transmissions; * QoS-driven resource allocation for multi-hop cooperative wireless networking; * Power-efficient MAC layer protocol for wireless cooperative relay networks; * Network layer protocol for self-configuration and routing in wireless cooperative relay networks; * Wireless cooperative network coding; * Trust mechanism for cooperation among mobile users; * Cross-layer design and optimization with QoS provisioning for cooperative wireless networking; * User-centric frameworks and solutions for QoS satisfactions in cooperative wireless networks; * Packet-level and signal-level cooperative wireless multicast; * Multi-hop user-cooperation protocol design in cognitive radio networks; * Cooperative game for resource competition/negotiation in wireless networks. Manuscript Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. References should be limited to 10, figures and tables to a combined total of 6 (mathematical equations should be avoided). Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: IEEE ICC 2011 Workshop on Advances in Mobile Networking (AMN 2011) Datum: Wed, 8 Sep 2010 16:43:05 +0200 Von: Kellerer, Wolfgang <kellerer(a)DOCOMOLAB-EURO.COM> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Call for Papers ************************************************************************ ******* IEEE ICC 2011 Workshop on Advances in Mobile Networking (AMN 2011) - Towards a Next Generation Mobile Core Network - June 9, 2011, Kyoto, Japan http://www.docomoeurolabs.de/amn2011 http://www.ieee-icc.org/2011/cfp_workshop_list.php CALL FOR PAPERS Important Dates --------------- Manuscript submission deadline: October 15, 2010 Notification of decision: January 15, 2011 Camera-ready deadline: February 15, 2011 Scope and Motivation -------------------- Mobile Networks are at the brink of becoming truly All-IP Networks, providing all services through IP technology. This opens the door for new advancements of mobile systems and all parts of them, along with the efforts taken to advance Internet technology. In fact, there is an urgent necessity to advance the IP based mobile network in the upcoming years. This need stems from the rapid growth of multimedia application traffic that in return requires an unprecedented network capacity increase. However, the revenue will not grow at the same extent as the traffic. Consequently costs per bit are increasing, demanding for higher network efficiency. The efficiency increase is expected for infrastructure provisioning as well as for operational cost. In addition we address innovative user-centric service deployment embracing emerging resources in the network such as storage and processing power that demand for new mobility management and resource management solutions taking service locality, service roaming and user perceived quality into account. This workshop focuses on the mobile core network. We take a deployment of air interfaces such as LTE-Advanced for well underway and focus in concepts and technologies for the advancement of the core network. Contributions are sought for all network layers ranging from high-speed transport to service delivery platform. The emerging variety of multimedia services also pushed by the heterogeneity of end systems ranging from traditional mobile phones to high resolution portable smart devices, demands for new, efficient resource management schemes such as mobile network embedded Content Delivery Networks or content specific mobility management schemes. With available processing and storage space in the network, services do not any longer have to remain statically at a central server, but may move closer to the consumer. Such migration is not limited to one operator domain, but service programs may roam between operator networks. Diversified resource control also demands for a next generation of quality of service provisioning taking the user's Quality of Experience into account. In order to flexibly realize such new network and service solutions a level of indirection between the service delivery platform and the transport network is needed. Sophisticated mechanism are sought to allow for network resource isolations, realizing an abstraction layer for flexible control and management of coexisting, specific networks on one infrastructure substrate. It also allows abstracting from transport networks, supporting the flexible introduction of high speed bit transport through advanced (e.g. optical) network technologies. This addresses a new emerging business environment that reaches from Cloud Computing, Network Virtualization and System Adaptability to the exploding number of 3rd party applications. New players have to be taken into account in an open service market to respond to the economic market pressure that is grounded in fierce competition. New solutions are sought for expanding the next mobile network and emerging service ecosystems into a ubiquitous service space that includes internetworking with physical objects in the user environment, through means of Radio Frequency Identification, Near Field Communication and advanced user interaction mechanism. Topics of Interest ----------------------- Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Network aspects for next generation mobile systems such as decentralization, scalability, networked cloud computing, ubiquitous networking environments - Mobile network edge-based service delivery platforms - Mobile Content Delivery Networks - In-network service processing - Advanced roaming concepts (roaming of service programs and content) - Quality of Experience driven network optimization - Reconfigurable, self-organizing mobile network - Network resource management for LTE-Advanced - Mobile network virtualization - Mobile network sharing and network access - Advanced mobility management - Optical network technologies for mobile core network - Energy-efficient networking awareness - Emerging business models and business roles Instructions for Authors ------------------------ Submissions should be in English, adopt IEEE paper templates and must not exceed 5 pages.
