Call for Papers

Second International Workshop on Methods, Analysis and Protocols for Wireless Communication

(MAPWC-2011)

October 26-28, 2011, Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain 



To be held in conjunction with:

Sixth International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and

Applications (BWCCA-2011)

http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~net4all/BWCCA-2011/ 

Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain



Scope:



Wireless communications are characterized by high bit-error rates and burst errors, 

which arise due to interference fading, shadowing, terminal mobility, and so on. 

Since the traditional design of the algorithms, methods and protocols of the wired Internet 

did not take wireless networks into account, the performance over wireless networks is 

largely degraded. Especially, the multi-hop communication aggravate the problem of wireless 

communication even further. 

To solve these problems, there has been increased interest to propose and design new 

algorithms and methodologies for wireless communication.

 

The aim of this workshop is to present the innovative researches, methods and numerical

analysis for wireless communications and wireless networks

The workshop seeks original contributions in all relevant areas, 

including but not limited to the following topics. 



Topics of interest:



Wireless Communication and Computing

Numerical Calculation for Wireless Communications

Microwave Communication Devices

Wireless Networks Protocol Analysis

Mobile Computing 

Propagation, Diffraction and Scattering

Experimental and Simulation Evaluation
