CFP: CCNC Special Session on Wireless Models and Simulations for Consumer Communication and Networking

=========================================================================================================================
    Call for Papers for the Special Session on Wireless Models and  
Simulations for Consumer Communication and Networking
    collocated with the IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking  
Conference (CCNC)
    Las Vegas, NV, USA
    January 08-11, 2017
=========================================================================================================================

SCOPE and MOTIVATION

Wireless systems offer new challenges to network and systems  
designers. Heterogeneous scenarios, high mobility, energy limitation and
bandwidth constraints embody tough optimization problems that should  
be extensively studied through model analysis and realistic simulations.
In this context, it is crucial to bridge the gap between  
investigations of foundational nature and their application to  
practical wireless
network design.
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 innovative ideas and the results of ongoing research.
