CALL FOR PAPERS - ST-BWA 2006

Special Track on Broadband Wireless Access for Users on the Road
(http://m2usic.mmu.edu.my/main/sp-track-bwa.html)

in conjunction with M2USIC-2006 (http://m2usic.mmu.edu.my/main/index.html)

PJ Hilton Hotel, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

-----------------------------------------------------------------

SUBJECT AND SCOPE
-----------------
The demand for broadband wireless access (BWA) has increased
tremendously over the last few years. The provision of BWA on the road
may involve several technologies such as vehicle-to-infrastructure
communications, inter-vehicular communications (IVC), vehicle-to-vehicle
communications (V2V) or vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET). IVC enables
local information, such as road condition, to be disseminated to
surrounding vehicles. Numerous emerging applications may be offered to
users on the road and provide a wide array of benefits to our society by
enforcing a higher degree of safety, productivity, and convenience.

These emerging applications are not well supported currently.  Numerous
research challenges need to be addressed in order for BWA for users on
the road to be widely deployed. The combination of unique features of
IVC applications and networking opens new opportunities for many
interesting research areas. The vehicular ad-hoc networking among cars
has different characteristics from other ad-hoc networking problems. For
example, cars may frequently move in cluster which is different from the
random way point assumption in the study of mobile ad-hoc network.

The purpose of this special track is to showcase the variety of research
being conducted in BWA for users on the road and survey the
state-of-the-art in this field. Previously unpublished contributions to
the following areas are solicited:

• System/ Network Architectures
   • Access network
   • Vehicle-to-vehicle communications, IVC, VANET
   • Inter-working

• BWA Applications for Users on the Roads
   • Vehicular communications applications
   • Navigation safety applications
   • Vehicle data collection and harvesting
   • Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)

• Wireless Access Technologies
   • Mesh networking, WiFi mesh, WiMax mesh
   • Single-radio, multi-radio, single-channel, multi-channel
   • Link and physical layer issues
   • Frequency planning or channel assignment
   • Network protocols and algorithms, clustering, routing, etc.
   • Cross-layer protocol design

• Signal Processing Techniques
   • Channel modeling and estimation for inter-vehicular channels
   • Modulation and coding methods for IVC
   • Equalization, synchronization, and receiver design
   • Adaptation techniques for detection and parameter estimation
   • Emerging technologies (MIMO/adaptive arrays, etc)

• APIs and Application Platforms
   • Service creation and management
   • Advanced API
   • Content distribution to vehicles

• Mobility Management
   • Mobile IP
   • AAA and Security

• Performance Analysis
   • Realistic vehicle movement simulation
   • Mobility modeling

• Network Management for IVC
