Scope
and Interests
Today Broadband Wireless access
(mobile/nomadic) is emerging to offer outstanding opportunities. In this new
world of communicating devices, the evolution towards ubiquitous networking is
promising new paradigm with the aim of providing communication capability all
the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user, using devices
embedded in the surrounding physical environment. The implementation of such a
paradigm requires innovation in wireless network technologies and devices,
development of infrastructures, enablers supporting enhanced features for
ubiquitous capability.
The workshop is intended to present features based on
new architectures supporting mobility and/or nomadic features for wireless
access (IEEE 802.yx, Mesh,...), the sharing of the network access, bandwidth
sharing on radio access, network enablers all favoring the new perspective of
ubiquitous and ambient networking. Within the framework of BWAN 2006, the next
generation of network access will be investigated.
Topics of interest to
this workshop include (but are not limited to) performance studies and solutions
(algorithms, protocols, architectures) that tend to improve experience of users
of services and applications with context awareness.
