need to be addressed. The goal of this Workshop is to provide a forum 
for researchers, scientists and engineers working in academia and 
industry to share their experiences, new ideas and research results in 
the areas of broadband wireless access networks. Topics of interest 
include all aspects of broadband wireless access including, but not 
limited to:

- New architectures, technologies, protocols for broadband wireless access   
- Medium access control and QoS
- Security and privacy issues 
- Service level agreements 
- Radio extension such as 802.xx (WiFi, WiMax, etc)  
- Modulation, coding and antennas (MIMO) 
- UMTS and extensions 
- Scalability and reliability issues 
- Wireless mesh networks
- Optical wireless access networks
- QoS in mobile and broadband wireless access networks
