Symposium on Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN
2008) CALL FOR
PAPERS Scope: Next
generation mobile networks are expected to allow subscribers to transparently
access broadband multimedia services via multiple wireless and wireline access networks. Evolution towards next
generation mobile networks is already taking place through the interworking
of third generation (3G) cellular systems such as UMTS and cdma2000 with
other broadband wireless access technologies such as WiFi
hotspots and WiMax and the emerging Unlicensed
Mobile Access (UMA) technologies to provide mobile users with anytime
anywhere access to broadband multimedia services over the Internet. Dynamic
spectrum access and cognitive radio techniques will be essential for
maximizing the radio resource utilization in future generation mobile
networks. The next generation mobile networks will also be shaped by emerging
standards for wireless access from mobile terminals, e.g., IEEE 802.22 WRAN
and IEEE 802.20 MBWA, and for integration of heterogeneous wireless access
networks, e.g., IEEE 802.21. Due to the heterogeneity in the wireless access
techniques and the requirements of multimedia services, the issue of QoS
provisioning and enforcement in the future generation mobile networks will
become a critical issue for the wireless access equipment vendors, networks
service providers, and customers. Cross-layer protocol engineering along with
application-oriented signaling protocols, and
creation of new services will be required for efficient network resource
utilization and to bring profitability to the service providers. The symposium on “Next Generation Mobile
Networks” will provide a timely technical forum for the dissemination
of new results in this exciting research area. It will cover key aspects of
B3G/4G mobile networks, particularly architectures, protocols and management
techniques. Papers addressing areas such as protocol engineering, resource
management, mobility management, handoff management, QoS provisioning,
authentication, authorization and accounting, performance analysis and
optimization models are encouraged. Symposium Topics Topics
