THEME AND SCOPE
The huge advances of wireless broadband technologies lay the foundation of a future where ubiquitous wireless network access will be anywhere at anytime. Wireless mesh networks are expected to be a key element of this future by providing a highly scalable, reliable and cost-effective wireless backbone to mobile devices a multi-hop wireless communication system. However, there are still a lot of technical challenges that need to be solved in order to reach the full potentialities of this innovative technology.
This workshop aims to bring together the technologist and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh networks. The main purpose is to promote discussions on recent advances in the analysis design and implementation of systems, protocols and services for next generation mobile mesh networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at all layers of mesh networks, from application to physical layer.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Cross layer design and optimizations
Capacity analysis
Greening the Internet
Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking
Medium access control protocols
Self-configuration and self-management procedures
Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols
Mesh networks measurement
QoS provisioning
Mobility management
Topology construction and maintenance Security architectures, functions and protocols
Privacy enhancing technologies for mesh networks
Testbed, prototype, and practical systems
