Scope and Motivation

The complexity of wireless systems is escalating. Interactions among increasing numbers of radio technologies in the presence of growing capacity demands, strong QoS requirements, large numbers of devices, high mobility, and energy constraints entail challenging problems at all wireless network layers. The investigation of these problems involves the development of novel analytical models of wireless systems, as well as original wireless network simulation tools that are realistic and allow for credible, verifiable, and reproducible results.

This track aims to provide an international technical forum to bring together experts from industry and academia from across the world, to discuss and present new ideas and research results on subjects related to wireless models and simulations
