International Symposium on Wireless Local and Personal Area Networks
(part of IWCMC 2006)

Sheraton Wall Centre
Vancouver, Canada
July 3-6, 2006

Technical Support: IEEE TCPC, IEEE TCCC, IEEE RCC, IEEE MMC

Scope and Topics of Interest

Original papers are invited on emerging architectures and technologies in
the design of wireless local area networks (WLANs) and wireless personal
area networks (WPANs) with emphasis on the use of such networks in diverse
areas of applications such as supporting ubiquitous mobile Internet
access, and the design of ad-hoc networks, and sensor networks. The
symposium solicits high quality and previously unpublished work in the
field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Wireless Mesh Networks
Medium access techniques and protocols for WLANs/WPANs
Emerging standards and testbeds for WLANs/WPANs
WLANs/WPANs protocols for smart antennas
Energy efficiency in protocol and systems design
Resource assignment and sharing in WLANs/WPANs
Self configuration in WLANs/WPANs
Provisioning quality of service in WLANs/WPANs
Multimedia networking architectures and protocols for WLANs/WPANs
Integration and interoperability of WLANs/WPANs and 3G (and 
beyond)networks
Interoperability issues between wireless standards/protocols and the 
Internet
User mobility and workload modeling
Security issues in WLANs/WPANs
