Preface
Recent spectacular achievements in wireless, mobile, and sensor networks have
dramatically changed our lives in many ways. However, the rapid evolution of wireless
systems not only promises increased functionality, reliability, availability, and security,
as well as putting a wide variety of new services at the users’ disposal − it also creates a
number of design challenges that our research community is now facing. Scientists and
engineers need to come up with, and promptly implement, novel wireless network
architectures, while system operators and planners rethink their business models and
attend to the growing expectations of their customer base.
To provide a suitable forum for discussion between researchers, practitioners, and
industry representatives interested in new developments in the respective research area,
IFIP WG 6.8 launched three separate series of conferences: MWCN (Mobile and
Wireless Communications Networks), PWC (Personal Wireless Communications), and
WSAN (Wireless Sensor and Actors Networks). In 2008, MWCN and PWC were
merged into the IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC 2008), held
in Toulouse, France, from September 30 to October 2, 2008. MWNC 2008 and PWC
2008 topics were subsequently revised with a view to covering the whole spectrum of
hot issues in wireless and mobile networking. As a result, IFIP WG 6.8 decided to add
WSAN as another WMNC track. WMNC 2009 therefore subsumed three tracks,
MWCN, PWC, and WSAN, each with its own steering committee, but with a common
TPC of more than 100 members. It was held in Gdańsk, Poland, September 9-11, 2009,
hosted by Gdańsk University of Technology.
A total of 65 regular papers (split quite evenly among the three tracks) were
submitted by authors from 20 countries. All submissions were evaluated by the
program committee members assisted by external reviewers − at least three per paper.
Finally, 30 papers were accepted and included in this proceedings volume. They
reflect the state of the art, current discussions, and development trends in wireless and
mobile networks and services. A variety of internationally significant topics are
covered, including wireless LANs, sensor, ad hoc, UMTS and cellular networks,
mobility, localization, routing, quality of service, IMS, network management, energy
efficiency, and security.
The PWC track continued to penetrate its traditional area of communication-layer
protocol design and performance evaluation. Particular attention was paid to
multimedia traffic accommodation, including low-layer considerations in respect to
EDCA queues and bandwidth reservation for voice connections, network-layer
multicast video streaming, and session establishment signaling. Optimization of
existing WiMAX protocols, and coexistence of popular wireless technologies like
WiFi and Bluetooth within a common unlicensed band were given both analytical and
experimental treatment. Universal teletraffic studies and cross-layer design principles
were applied to wireless network design, with a relatively large number of papers
dealing with handover performance and engineering. The authors did not turn away
from security-related issues in view of possible uncooperative behavior of wireless

terminals; one that has recently become of particular importance is trust building and
management.
The WSAN track reflected two distinct groups of problems, one connected with
the organization of ad-hoc wireless sensor networks, and the other covering the theory
and practical algorithms of sensor location. Monitoring of the current state of the
environment, especially geared towards threat detection and out-of-the-ordinary
values of various parameters, is the subject of keen interest of local governments and
commercial operators alike. A monitoring system constitutes a wireless wide-area
network with sensor terminals, each of which consists of a measurement part and a
transmission part with access to some telecommunication services. Its main function
is the reliable and real-time transfer of monitoring data to a management database.
From the design perspective, self-organization and security also play a central role.
Finally, the MWCN track focused on three major areas: mobile and wireless
application and services, 3G/4G networks and next generation systems, and
architectures, protocols and technologies. One of the major goals of mobile networks
is to provide multimedia broadcast/multicast service on a mass scale. However, this
requires successful completion of the relevant standardization processes, techno-
economic studies, and calls for new concepts of multicast schemes. Another hot topic
is the convergence of telecommunications and web services based on the integration
of context information, Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) and the IP Multimedia
Subsystem (IMS). One of the key issues in real-time service provision in mobile
networks based on e.g., WiMAX technology, is to ensure suitable handover schemes
that exploit cross-layer optimization. As mobile networks become increasingly
heterogeneous, network operators look beyond GSM/UMTS and get interested in
wireless LAN/MAN and 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE). This creates additional
issues e.g., handovers between access networks and operators.
As conference organizers, we are extremely grateful to the steering committees, the
TPC, and all the external reviewers, for the hard work they put into the preparation
and distribution of the call for papers, as well as the timely delivery of paper reviews.
It is their highly competent and friendly support that enabled us to put together the
consistent and, in our opinion, high-quality final program of WMNC 2009. We would
like to thank all the authors for their submissions and interest in our conference, as
well as Springer for their cooperation during the preparation of this volume. We feel
indebted to many organizations and individuals who made this conference possible, in
particular, the International Federation for Information Processing, Gdańsk University
of Technology, IEEE Poland Section, Lord Mayor of Gdańsk, Alcatel-Lucent, and
Nokia Siemens Networks.
Lastly, we are grateful to the local staff, service providers, and student volunteers
for the countless hours they spent helping with the organization of WMNC 2009.
