Call For Papers: The 4th International Workshop on Femtocells.

Wednesday 22nd June 2011, Room S-1.27, King’s Building, King’s College London, Strand, London WC2R 2LS, UK

Aims and scope:
The 4th International workshop on femtocells is aimed at providing a chance for communicating between both industry and academia at a very low cost. During previous editions, attendances were from both industry and academia. This workshop only accepts novel and previously unpublished research papers. Guest speakers will give oral presentations. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop using poster format. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings. Papers selected for poster presentation will be included in IEEE digital library.

Main topics:
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Modeling, simulation and key performance indicators for femtocell networks
- Self-configuration, self-optimization and self-healing
- Restricted access, open-access, and restricted access
- Coexistence between macrocell and femtocell networks
- Interference analysis, avoidance, and mitigation
- Time synchronization
- Cognitive femtocell networks
- Cooperative femtocell networks
- Power saving mechanisms
- Back-hauling issues
- Femtocell deployments and markets

EDAS Conference Management System will handle paper submission. Please use your existing EDAS account if you have one. You can easily open an EDAS account if you do not have one. See http://www.Edas.info. The submission is now open. Papers should be in English, not exceeding 6 doublecolumn pages. Authors should use the relevant IEEE template, ensuring an IEEExplorecompatible PDF format.
