First IEEE VTC Symposium on IP Mobility

Submission Deadline Extended: March 24, 2003

Scope

Mobility support in IP network has been an area of active research and development. The impacts of mobility and wireless medium at all layers of Internet architecture have generated wide range of interest in the research community. IETF has been working on standardizing protocols for inter-domain and intra-domain mobility, context transfer, routing for network mobility and ad-hoc networks. This symposium is aimed at providing researchers and practitioners a forum for presenting their research at all layers of Internet architecture and sharing experiences. It will provide a unique opportunity to people from academia and industry to exchange their ideas on short-term and long-term research issues. The theme of this symposium is Support for Network Mobility. The outcome of the symposium is expected to present a view on how close to reality is IP Mobility and set a direction for research to deal with emerging issues. The papers must discuss issues and solutions related to support for wireless medium and mobility in IP network. The symposium solicits papers related to but not limited to the following areas:

Routing for host (e.g. terminals) and network (e.g. trains, buses) mobility, protocols and performance

New approaches to wide-area and local mobility

Quality of Service models, resource management, and provisioning

Traffic Engineering in mobile wireless IP access networks

Transport protocol design for mobile wireless networks

Security including security threat models, threat analysis and their impact on routing

Application level protocol design and performance

Mobile and wireless applications, their service requirements and performance

Content delivery support in IP network for mobile users

Multicasting for mobile wireless services

Emerging network architectures (e.g. multi-hop ad-hoc network, sensor network)

Internetworking of different network types (e.g. ad-hoc to cellular, wireless LAN to cellular)

Inter-vehicular network architecture

Mobile wireless IP access network deployment and management

Posters are also solicited on the projects related to the symposium theme.
