4/11     8:30am – 12:00am      Adaptive Packet Scheduling in Wireless Networks

                                                 by Victor Li, Hong Kong University

Abstract: With the rapid growth in popularity of wireless data services, and the increasing demand for multimedia applications, it is expected that wireless networks will provide services for heterogeneous classes of traffic with different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Wireless communication poses special problems that do not exist in wireline networks, such as time-varying channel capacity and location-dependent errors. Although many algorithms for QoS support are available for wireline networks, they are not directly applicable in wireless networks because of these special problems. This tutorial provides a comprehensive and in-depth survey on recent research in QoS support in wireless networks, focusing on wireless scheduling. Various representative algorithms are examined. Their themes of thoughts, and pros and cons are compared and analyzed. Some open questions and future research directions are addressed.

4/12     8:30am – 9:00am        Opening Session

 

            9:00am – 10:00am      Keynote Speech: Emergency use of communication facilities,

                                                by Fred Baker, Cisco

Abstract: The Internet and various mobile telephone services are being expanded for use in times of crisis. Applications include dissemination of warning information in times of crisis, databases designed to assist families and companies to locate and verify the status of victims, and facilities for the management of crisis by government or government-sanctioned leadership. Mr. Baker will discuss the services being developed, how they might be used in times of crisis, and how research can make them better. ftp://ftpeng.cisco.com/fred/bio/Fred_Baker_Biography.html
