MACOM 2011 - 4th International Workshop on Multiple Access Communications

September 11-13, 2011 - Trento, Italy

http://www.csit-spb.ru/macom2011.html

AIMS AND TOPICS --------------- In 1961, Claude Shannon established the foundation for the discipline now known as "multi-user information theory" in his pioneering paper "Two-way Communication Channels", and later Norman Abramson published his paper "The Aloha System - Another Alternative for Computer Communications" in 1970 which introduced the concept of multiple access using a shared common channel. Thereafter for more than 40 years of study, numerous elegant theories and algorithms have been developed for multiple access techniques.

The aim of this workshop is to discuss both multi-user communications theory and multiple access techniques and standardization activities in areas related to PHY and MAC layer protocols - and their interactions - for contemporary networks. We intend to provide the experts from both the academic institutes and industry with an opportunity to present their state-of-the-art results and exchange the ideas on multiple access techniques and related areas: * PHY-layer multiple access techniques: CDMA, OFDMA, etc. * Link-layer MAC access protocols: duty-cycle, scheduled, random access, polling-based, etc. * PHY/MAC cross-layer techniques * Multi-user information theory: broadcast, multi-access and (multiple) relay channel, multiuser detection, etc. * Queuing theory, modeling and analysis techniques: stochastic models, Markov models, new simulation models and tools.

The MACOM 2010 event has special interest to address the new paradigms and theoretical foundations for future wireless communication systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Cognitive radio networks * Autonomic (self-*) and opportunistic networks * Cooperative wireless networks * QoS and radio resource management * Future Internet architectures considering cognitive, autonomic, cooperative, etc. solutions for wireless objects. * Wireless Broadband Networks: PANs, WLANs, WIMAX, cellular (3G/4G) and satellite communications * Wireless Multi-hop networks: sensor and actuator, mesh, vehicular networks, etc.

IMPORTANT DATES --------------- * Submission deadline: 15 March 2011 * Notification of acceptance: 28 April 2011 * Camera-ready paper and authors registration: 20 May 2011

CONTACT ------- All questions / proposals should be sent to the MACOM 2011 Workshop Chairs (at macom2011@gmail.com).
