WORKSHOP AIMS AND TOPICS

Internet access is undergoing a fundamental change. A steadily increasing spectrum of services is attracting a rapidly growing number of users which, in turn, wish to access these services 'anytime and anywhere'. In order to meet this demand, Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technologies are becoming extremely important and vendors and standardization bodies respond to this development with new and powerful BWA technologies. Supporting transmission rates up to several megabits per second at distances far as tens of kilometres while providing full mobility support, these technologies provide the long-awaited means for delivering any telecommunication service over the Internet.

Nevertheless, BWA technologies are still in their infancy and many are far from complete and optimized for such a versatile environment like the Internet. Consequently, BWA is currently receiving much attention by the research community. By organizing this Series of IEEE BWA Workshops, which originated from two European research activities, IST FP6 WEIRD and ESF COST 290 , we aim on bringing together and providing an international forum for this research community. In this line, the workshop programme covers various aspects of these technologies including but not limited to:
