Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks"

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks" Datum: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:46:06 +0100 Von: Antonio de la Oliva <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> Antwort an: Antonio de la Oliva <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Communications Magazine *** Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks (http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0115.html) ** DESCRIPTION The ever growing demand from users of mobile networks, in terms of both capacity and coverage, is driving the current (e.g., IEEE 802.11, LTE, WiMAX) and near-future (e.g., LTE-Advanced, IEEE 802.11ac/ad/af and High Efficiency WLAN - HEW) technologies alike towards their limits. The more sustainable solution to the 5G promise of true ubiquitous mobile broadband is to deploy very dense wireless networks, which we call DenseNets. Intuition based on experience suggests that DenseNets will encompass significant overlapping, and possibly non-interoperable technologies, which can be seen as an evolution of today’s heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Similar to HetNet but only more severe, DenseNets will have to face a multitude of techno-economic challenges such as backhaul availability, very low cost of small base stations, operation, administration and management (OAM), Machine Type Communications (MTC), etc. Some of the relevant issues already identified in the DenseNets scenarios include the nonlinear characteristics of the achieved throughput and energy consumption. As an increased number of cells are being deployed, the effect of the interference becomes dominant, resulting on an overall throughput which is not linear with the number of cells. Similar nonlinear effects on energy efficiency have been observed due to the need for the equipment to be continuously serving high demand applications. In order to overcome these problems, a new family of solutions characterized by the use of cooperative approaches is required to take advantage of the new opportunities brought by the DenseNets scenarios. This opens a broad spectrum of research directions, standardisation paths, and market opportunities, which will involve the relevant communities in both academia and industry in the forthcoming years. The goal of this feature topic is to publish original material, either research or review articles, on the topic of extremely dense wireless networks (DenseNets). All material should be comprehensible and accessible to non-expert readers. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST - Exploration of the fundamental limits of wireless networks (scalability, capacity, ...) - Real life experiences with DenseNets (deployments, large scale testbeds, ...) - Novel business models, requirements, use cases, and applications - Analysis and simulation of extremely dense wireless networks - Advanced mobility management solutions within DenseNets resulting in extremely fast handover (Distributed Mobility Management - DMM, PMIPv6 and beyond, ...) - Software Defined Networking (SDN) approaches for wireless/cellular networks - Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) approaches for DenseNets - Novel theoretical frameworks for DenseNets - Energy Efficiency techniques for DenseNets - Approaching density-proportional capacity of DenseNets - Evolved network management and Operations Systems Support (OSS) for DenseNets - Standards and technologies for small cells (IEEE 802.11, LTE HeNB, ...) - 3GPP LTE-Advanced and beyond-LTE support to DenseNets ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES This Feature Topic Issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should refer to the IEEE Communications Magazine's author guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines for information about content, constraints (4500 words or less, no mathematical content, etc.), and formatting of submissions. Manuscripts must be written in English, contain substantial tutorial content, and be accessible to a broad general audience working in other fields.

These hybrid network environments require supportive strategies to exploit even the slightest communication opportunity. Furthermore, the complexity of this task increases if we also consider device constraints, energy aspects and application diversity. In this context, what appears theoretically possible becomes conditionally feasible only when all available network resources are being efficiently exploited, including those hosted in nearby fixed deployments. New research paradigms can give a unification perspective to the various pieces of the global network jigsaw puzzle. Software-Defined Networks (SDNs), Mobile Cloud Computing and Information-Centric Networks (ICNs) are among the recent innovations that can enable flexible solutions for integrating infrastructure with mobile and opportunistic networks, addressing challenging network conditions, and supporting promising new applications. This Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue aims at soliciting original manuscripts on experimental & theoretical work revisiting the research areas of mobile and opportunistic networks in the context of recent developments in networking research, including new fixed network technologies and concrete use-cases (e.g., disaster situations, space environments and free Internet deployments). On the one hand, infrastructure networks are becoming more flexible and can provide a supportive environment in which mobile-to-mobile communication can flourish, e.g., improving the Quality of Experience (QoE) and energy efficiency for users and devices, respectively. On the other hand, the deployed opportunistic networks can extend the pool of available resources and increase network coverage worldwide. Topics for the special issue include, but are not limited to: - Opportunistic Networks / Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Networks - Software-Defined Networks & OpenFlow deployments supporting mobile communication - Mobile Cloud Computing - Information-Centric Networks for hybrid network deployments - Space Communications extending the Internet - Free Internet / Lowest-Cost Denominator Networking - Extreme conditions / Disaster area communications - Social networking based communications - Test-beds / real deployments of infrastructure-supported mobile communications - Security, privacy and trust in challenging network environments - Resource pooling between fixed infrastructures and mobile environments. - New applications / services in integrated network environments - Network management issues / solutions over hybrid network deployments. * Submission Instructions * Prospective Authors should follow the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described athttp://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc Please select "SI: NRC-MON" when you reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Papers must be in single-column format, double-spaced, use at least 11pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including references. * Important Dates * Manuscript Submission: February 17, 2014 Acceptance Notification: June 16, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: July 14, 2014 * Editor in Chief * Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA * Guest Editors * Vassilis Tsaoussidis, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece.

VENUE ====================================== With a population of some 370,000 inhabitants, Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland. It is surprisingly compact, though, with a wealth of old churches, fountains, and cobbled streets with buildings, some of them more than 700 years old, housing charming galleries and small shops. Zurich is situated some 400 metres (1,340 ft) above sea level at the northern end of the 27 km (17 miles) long Lake of Zurich. In Mercer’s annual “Quality of Living” survey, Zurich regularly claims one of the top spots, as it does on Monocle’s “Most Liveable Cities Index”. The Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, or - to use its German acronym - the ETH Zurich, was founded by the Swiss government in 1854 as a polytechnic and opened its doors in Zurich in 1855. ETH Zurich regularly appears at the top of international rankings as one of the best universities in the world. 21 Nobel Laureates have studied, taught or conducted research at ETH Zurich, underlining its excellent reputation. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Their main goal is to improve the traveler’s safety, shorten the travel time and reduce the environmental impact. Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.) and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in order to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers and authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic privileges to emergency vehicles. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners and administrators who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all welcome to present and discuss their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications at the 2014 VTM workshop. *Topics of Interest* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Vehicular traffic management * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols for smart cities * Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments * Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues) * Data fusion and integration for traffic management systems (techniques, algorithms, data types, etc.) * Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments * Route planning protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms * Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and VANETs applied to traffic management systems in smart cities * Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, modeling, and simulation * Security and QoS issues for ITS applications * V2X feasibility over LTE networks * M2M communication for data collection in road environment * Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management * Deployment issues for smart infrastructure in urban areas * Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management * Decision making tools for road traffic management * Electric vehicles *Submission guidelines:* The VTM workshop follows the formatting guidelines of IEEE VTC2014-Spring.

Simultaneous use of LEDs for both lighting and data communications is a sustainable and energy-efficient approach that has the potential to revolutionize how we use light. Besides indoor illumination, LEDs are being widely used in outdoor lighting, traffic signs, advertising displays, car headlights/taillights, etc. This makes possible the use of VLC for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications which are key components of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). This workshop aims to provide a scientific forum to discuss the potential of VLC in the context of ITSs and identify the associated problems, challenges, requirements, and research directions. Prospective authors are invited to submit 5-pages, original, unpublished, full technical papers in the following topics of interest, but are not limited to: · Advanced coding and modulation techniques for V2V and V2I communications · MIMO VLC systems for vehicular networks · Multi-hop VLC vehicular networks · Effect of sunlight and ambient noise on vehicular VLC performance · LED pointing, acquisition and tracking · MAC and upper layer protocols for vehicular VLC networks · Centralized and distributed vehicular VLC networks · Navigation and positioning using VLC · VLC-based park assistance · VLC-based vehicle platoons · Advanced driver assistance systems · Vehicular area networks (VANETs) · Integration aspects with public lighting infrastructures · Hybrid RF/VLC vehicular networks · Intelligent transportation systems · VLC for high speed communication with trains · Test beds and field trials Paper submission guidelines: Submitted papers must be unpublished and should not be submitted elsewhere at the same time. Accepted full papers should not exceed 5 pages in two-column IEEE Transactions style. Accepted full papers longer than 5 pages will be charged $100 for each extra page. Papers cannot be longer than 7 pages. Papers should be submitted as PDF files through the TrackChair system (http://vtc2014spring-wk.trackchair.com/ <http://www.mmsend2.com/link.cfm?r=661445230&sid=29928103&m=3373045&u=IEEE_V…>). All submitted papers will be subject to three independent reviews. Note: To be published in the IEEE VTC2014-Spring Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the workshop chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions.

Participants are expected to share their views on which new technology enablers are going to be the pillars of the coming 5G mobile and wireless system. Those enablers may be components of the protocol stack (PHY, MAC or upper layers) or new architectural models. It is widely viewed that the future mobile infrastructure will have to cope not only with a quantitative growth of the requirements that we are facing today (higher capacity, data rate, number of connected devices) but also with qualitatively new requirements (higher reliability, larger versatility, application-domain specific topologies) resulting from a broader scope of applications over 5G networks. In 2020, mobile and wireless traffic volume is expected to increase thousand-fold over 2010 figures. Moreover, an increase in the number of wirelessly connected devices in the tens of billions will have a profound impact on society. Massive machine communication, forming the basis for the Internet of Things, will make our everyday life more efficient, comfortable and safer, through a wide range of applications including traffic safety and medical services. The variety of applications and traffic types originating from or reaching mobile, WLAN, and sensor networks, will be significantly larger than today, and will result in more diverse requirements on services, devices and networks. To meet the demands beyond 2020, a system that broadens the use of today's wireless networks is needed. Fundamentally new concepts and design approaches are needed, and these must be integrated into systems that provide the necessary flexibility, versatility and scalability at low cost and low energy consumption. This workshop presents a forum for exchange of ideas between all stakeholders. We invite researchers to submit original papers in the following areas: * D2D communication * Machine-type communication/massive machine communication * Ultra-reliable networks and NSPS communication * Moving networks and vehicular-to-anything communication * Ultra-dense deployments * Radio network architectures including beyond cellular * Self-organizing networks and distributed features * Energy efficient networks * Network and massive MIMO * Network coding * Efficient air interfaces (low signaling overhead, energy consumption) * Optimizing radio access * Interference metrics, measurements and management * Millimeter-wave communication * Spectrum measurement and models * Spectrum use and new spectrum sharing models * Cognitive radio networks * QoS provisioning and MAC protocol * Trust and security * Experimental prototypes and results related with the above topics *Important Dates:* * Paper Submission : 23 February, 2014 * Author Notification : 14 March, 2014 * Final paper submission : 24 March, 2014 *Paper Submission:* Papers should follow the 2-column IEEE conference template and not exceed 5 pages.
