HeterWMN 2011: IEEE 6th International Workshop on Heterogeneous,
Multi-Hop, Wireless and Mobile Networks

Houston, Texas, United States of America, December 5

To be held in conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2011

Submission deadline: July 7, 2011

SUMMARY
=======

The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are mainly
based on single-hop architecture and rely on fixed infrastructure such
as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of
radio access networks such as Wireless
WANs, Wireless LANs, Wireless
PANs, ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks with
distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power,
mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and
ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated
heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular
network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio
access networks (RANs) available. The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless
and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and
greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to
dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable
protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as
wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all
the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to aim at
heterogeneous architectures
and services that together provide
seamless integration of single-hop as well as multi-hop mobile ad hoc
networks.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research community
in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on
the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous
multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and
previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and
application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile
networks.

SCOPE
=====

Topics related to heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile
networks in the areas of:
- Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management
