CALL FOR PAPERS
Minitrack on Cellular and Wireless Networks
in the Software Technology Track of the
56th Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS 56)
January 3-6, 2023, Hyatt Regency Hotel, Ka'anapali, Maui.

Submission deadline: June 15, 2022 (firm)

This minitrack is broadly focused on the issues that arise in designing, building and analyzing cellular and wireless networks, and on the applications of cellular and wireless networks in solving real-world challenges and securely connecting people and devices. These networks include cellular networks (6G, 5G, 4G, 3G, and 2G), Wi-Fi networks, sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, Bluetooth, and more. The breadth of this minitrack includes technical, social, environmental and other issues.

Technical issues are found in the protocol stack from the physical layer to the application layer, including security, efficiency, scalability, the design and motivation of new systems, novel applications, better use of existing technology, energy efficiency of communications, regulatory issues, and in general, issues that are of concern when designing or building cellular and wireless networks. Often, technical solutions must be accompanied by relevant social, environmental, or economic considerations which may be essential to the success of the technology, so appropriate non-technical papers are also welcome in this minitrack.

In general, this minitrack is expansive in welcoming submissions in any area related to wireless networks. Prospective authors are invited to contact the minitrack chairs if they seek more detailed guidance.

The following is a partial list of research topics of particular interest for this minitrack:

- 6G, 5G, 4G, 3G, and 2G cellular networks

- Wi-Fi networks

- ad hoc wireless networks including mesh networks

- wireless communication for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Vehicle Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs)

- wireless communication for home automation

- security in wireless networks

- protocols and algorithms for physical, MAC, routing, transport, and application layers, including cross-layer techniques

- theoretical issues of interest in the design or implementation of wireless networks, including communications, scalability, coordination, access control, and other advances in the field, such as millimeter wave technologies

- novel applications of wireless networks

- social and environmental benefits and consequences of the use of wireless networks and new applications.
