Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for wireless/mobile communication
systems as promising way for enabling ubiquitous communications. In this
prospective, mobile broadband wireless is an important research area.

This workshop focuses on all topics related to Broadband Wireless Internet
Access (BWIA), including Mobile BWIA, with particular emphasis on theory,
protocols, architectures, algorithms, resource management, technologies,
applications, practical experiences, simulations, analysis, and
validation. Topics include, but are not limited to:
* New architectures, technologies, protocols
* Medium access control and QoS
* Security and privacy issues
* Service level agreements
* Radio extension such as 802.xx (WiFi, WiMax, etc)
* Modulation, coding and antennas (MIMO)
* UMTS and extensions
* Scalability and reliability issues
* Wireless mesh networks
* Optical wireless access networks
* QoS in mobile and broadband wireless access networks
* Radio Resource Management and call admission control
* Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering
* Physical and Data link layer Issues
* Space-time coding for broadband wireless Internet
* Spectrum management
* Interoperability aspects (fixed/mobile LANs/MANs, WANs)
* Micro and macro mobility Management
* 3G/4G Wireless Technologies
* Cross-layer interactions and optimization
* Network and resource management
* Experiences/lessons from recent deployments
