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 favouring 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.
