The 15th IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Local Networks (WLN'15)
Oct. 26-29, 2015, Clearwater Beach, Florida, USAHeld in conjunction with The 40th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN'15)
On The Evolution of Local Networks
Macronetworks
are driving the evolution of communication systems towards spectrally
efficient, energy efficient, and fast local networks. Local networks
were mainly driven by standards that support cheap and efficient systems
with a relatively small number of users per access point. This will be
challenging for future high user density scenarios. This year's workshop
on WLNs will highlight issues pertinent to evolving local networks.
Central themes will focus on the development of standards and techniques
that reduce the complexity and overhead of the control plane in order
to achieve spectral and energy efficiency, new interference management
methods for small cell communication, and local networks synergy that
empowers the advancement the global connectivity needs of users.
Specific topics include, but are not limited to:
- Ad hoc Device-2-Device communication and Fog technologies
- Facilitating robust Cloudlets
- Virtualized and cloud-based radio access infrastructure
- Wireless access schemes and techniques
- Mobility and network management
- Cognitive and reconfigurable radio
- Small cell and ultra-dense deployment techniques
- New services for the future Internet
- The transition to 5G – Backward compatibility issues, and coexistence and integration of heterogeneous wireless networks
- Backhauling future heterogeneous and moving networks
- Wireless and Mobile Clouds
- Implementation and testbed issues
Submission Guidelines
We
seek original contributions that have neither been previously published
nor currently under review. Authors can submit a full paper (up to 8
pages) that describes complete work in a self-contained manner with the
intent to deliver an oral presentation.
For style guidelines, kindly refer to the author instructions available on the IEEE LCN 2015 website: http://www.ieeelcn.org/Author_Instructions.html. Papers must be submitted via EDAS. All accepted submissions will be published in the LCN’15 proceedings and the ieeeXplore portal.
