Scope:
---------
Nowadays, there is a clear steep growth in research interests in  
wireless
and mobile communication systems as an inexpensive and promising  
means for
ubiquitous communications. Mobile broadband wireless is an important
sub-area of this research, which focuses on enabling physical layer
technologies to support third generation as well as future broadband
mobile systems. Even though this sub-area holds great promises for  
our future,
there are several challenges that need to be addressed.

This workshop focuses on all topics related to Broadband Wireless  
Internet
Access (BWIA), including Mobile BWIA, with emphasis on protocols,
architectures, algorithms, resource management, technologies,
applications, practical experiences, simulation results and analysis,
theory and validation. Expected topics include, but are
not limited to:

•	New architectures, technologies, protocols for broadband wireless  
access
•	Medium access control and QoS
•	Security and privacy issues
•	Service level agreements
•	Radio extension such as 802.xx (WiFi, WiMax, etc)
•	Modulation, coding and antennas (MIMO)
•	UMTS and extensions
•	Scalability and reliability issues
•	Wireless mesh networks
•	Optical wireless access networks
•	QoS in mobile and broadband wireless access networks
•	Radio Resource Management and call admission control
•	Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering
•	Physical and Data link layer Issues
•	Space-time coding for broadband wireless Internet
•	Spectrum management
•	Interoperability aspects (fixed/mobile LANs/MANs, WANs)
•	Micro and macro mobility Management
•	3G/4G Wireless Technologies
•	Cross-layer interactions and optimization
•	Network and resource management
•	Experiences/lessons from recent deployments

Paper Submission
--------------------------
Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently
under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been
previously published. Paper length should not exceed six-page technical
paper manuscript. Please see author information page for submission
guidelines at WiMob 2008 website (www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/wimob2008).
Papers should be submitted in a PDF format through EDAS.

Submissions should include a cover page with authors' names,  
affiliations,
fax and telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. All accepted papers will
be published in the conference proceedings. At least one author of
accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate.

All accepted papers will be included in the WiMob 2008 main conference
proceedings and published by IEEE. Authors of selected outstanding  
papers
will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for  
consideration of
publication in the International Journal of Communication Networks and
Distributed Systems, Inderscience, U.K.
