MACOM 2011 - 4th International Workshop on Multiple Access
Communications

September 11-13, 2011 - Trento, Italy

http://www.csit-spb.ru/macom2011.html



AIMS AND TOPICS
---------------
In 1961, Claude Shannon established the foundation for the
discipline now known as "multi-user information theory" in his
pioneering paper "Two-way Communication Channels", and later Norman
Abramson published his paper "The Aloha System - Another Alternative
for Computer Communications" in 1970 which introduced the concept of
multiple access using a shared common channel. Thereafter for more
than 40 years of study, numerous elegant theories and algorithms
have been developed for multiple access techniques.

The aim of this workshop is to discuss both multi-user
communications theory and multiple access techniques and
standardization activities in areas related to PHY and MAC layer
protocols - and their interactions - for contemporary networks. We
intend to provide the experts from both the academic institutes and
industry with an opportunity to present their state-of-the-art
results and exchange the ideas on multiple access techniques and
related areas:
* PHY-layer multiple access techniques: CDMA, OFDMA, etc.
* Link-layer MAC access protocols: duty-cycle, scheduled, random
access, polling-based, etc.
* PHY/MAC cross-layer techniques
* Multi-user information theory: broadcast, multi-access and
(multiple) relay channel, multiuser detection, etc.
* Queuing theory, modeling and analysis techniques: stochastic
models, Markov models, new simulation models and tools.

The MACOM 2010 event has special interest to address the new
paradigms and theoretical foundations for future wireless
communication systems. The topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
* Cognitive radio networks
* Autonomic (self-*) and opportunistic networks
* Cooperative wireless networks
* QoS and radio resource management
* Future Internet architectures considering cognitive,
autonomic, cooperative, etc. solutions for wireless objects.
* Wireless Broadband Networks: PANs, WLANs, WIMAX, cellular
(3G/4G) and satellite communications
* Wireless Multi-hop networks: sensor and actuator, mesh,
vehicular networks, etc.
