Internet access is undergoing a fundamental change. More powerful devices
and lower cost radio technologies are facilitating the transition to the
Mobile Internet in which users can access a diverse range of services and
applications anytime, anywhere. However, the huge increase in demand that
this brings cannot easily be met by current radio access systems. Hence,
there is a need for more powerful, more efficient, higher speed, lower cost
radio technologies for Broadband Wireless Access.
There is much energy within the community to develop more advanced BWA
technologies - activities span the wireless domain, ranging from more
advanced antenna technologies to co-operative relays to mesh networking
systems and many more: future networks will likely employ some mix of these
different mechanisms. We anticipate that this 6th workshop will continue the
series of successful workshops, providing a forum for new research results
and reports on practical experience working with innovative technologies in
the domain of Broadband Wireless Access. The workshop, then, is soliciting
contributions including but not limited to topics listed below.
* Incumbent and Future BWA Technologies, UMTS, HSPA, LTE, LTE-Advanced,
802.16x
* Self Configuring and Self Optimizing Networks
