IEEE Globecom 2010 FUSECO Workshop

Call for Papers

The trend towards All-IP networks in fixed and mobile domains, also referred to as Next Generation Network (NGN) and Next Generation Mobile Networks and the increasing demand for the efficient support of multimedia services across various wireless and wireline access networks is accelerating globally. For example, with the intended roll out of new wireless broadband access networks, such as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) or WiMax, the interworking with existing 3G, 2G and WLAN access networks becomes crucial. Alongside the evolution of the wireline core network and emergence of new overlay control networks, such as the IP Multimedia System (IMS), intelligence in the wireless domain is also moving out of the different access networks into a common Evolved Packet Core (EPC).
This workshop on "Future Seamless Communications: Packet Core Evolution and Seamless Multimedia Application Platforms" is intended to bring together academia and industry to debate on the research challenges related to integration and interworking of various access network technologies into an evolved packet core as well as the provision of multimedia services, such as voice and video services.
