WiNMee Workshop ---------------

http://www.winmee.org/

1st workshop on Wireless Network Measurements (co-located with WiOpt 2005) April 3rd, 2005 Riva Del Garda, Trentino, Italy

The area of wireless networking has attracted a lot of interest in the recent past. Nonetheless, evaluation of the performance of wireless networks and the solutions that are designed to address the identified issues is usually based on simulations.

Only recently did researchers turn their attention to actual testbeds for similar tasks. Actual wireless testbeds are likely to prove very challenging environments to work with due to the unique properties of the wireless medium (in contrast to the well explored area of wired measurements and experimentation).

The wireless medium is bound to behave differently depending on the location of the testbed and reproducibility of results is no longer a given. Lastly, solutions that have been previously proposed in the literature may be infeasible in an operational environment if they require changes in the network devices. As a result, effort has also been put into designing wireless hardware where researchers can gain access to functionality that is not typically exposed at the network driver level.

In this workshop we would like to solicit short, 6 pages, papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or the field. Topics include:

* operational experience on the performance of wireless networks * challenges with wireless measurements * experimental (in)validation of usually made assumptions in a wireless environment * metrics that would be required in a wireless network for performance evaluation or wireless network troubleshooting * experience from building/designing wireless networks * description of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds (e.g. wireless link emulation) * techniques for scaling the testbed * techniques for improving the repeatability of tests * techniques for validating the results obtained in the wireless testbed * methods for simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * mobility pattern implementation
