Description:
With the proliferation of smart handheld devices, mobile data is projected to grow drastically in the next few years. Coupled with emerging machine-to-machine communications, there is a compelling need to significantly improve the current network capacity and architecture. To meet this challenge, traditional cellular networks must be more adaptive and intelligent, e.g., adaptive to different types of spectrum, traffic patterns, and next generation networks’ technologies, such as Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces, Integrated Access and Backhaul, and others. They must also interconnect with other coexisting wireless networks such as Wi-Fi, mobile ad hoc networks, wireless mesh network, femtocells and small cells, etc., to support a wide range of applications. Motivated further by the proliferation of Internet of Things and different types of communications (including M2M and D2D) ad hoc networking is still envisioned as a promising alternative communication and networking paradigm, for either replacing or complementing infrastructure-based approaches. Moreover, the wide use of various sensor devices and the need for their interconnection and communication feed the necessity for designing ad hoc networking solutions. Accordingly, this track also seeks submissions related to networking related to smart city, and smart transportation.
