Special Issue on
Trends in Mobile Radio Channels: Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation
IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine
The ever growing demand for multimedia services, high mobility, and global connectivity has resulted in recent years in an explosion of new technologies for wireless communication systems. All compo nents of a wireless communication system ranging from digital modulation schemes over channel cod ing techniques up to higher layer protocols are influenced by the characteristics of the mobile radio chan nel. A thorough understanding of the mobile radio channel is therefore crucial for the develop ment, performance optimization, and test of present as well as next generation mobile radio systems. This is the reason why exploring the mobile radio channel has always been a key research topic from the very beginning of mobile communications until today. Currently, the research on mobile fading channels involves a variety of challenging topics such as the modeling of car-to-car channels, MIMO channels, cooperative channels, and ultra wideband channels, only to name a few. The objective of this special issue is to identify upcoming trends in the fascinating world of mobile radio channels and to make recent research results readily com pre hensible to a wide readership.
Topics
The articles in this special issue will report on the state-of-art research in mobile fading channels. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Channel models for 3G and 4G wireless communication systems
- Channel models for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems
- Advances in indoor, outdoor, and indoor-to-outdoor channel modeling
- Channel models for mobile-to-mobile cooperative communication systems
- Channel models for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications
- Ultra wideband channels
- Channel models for satellite communications
- Channel models for underwater wireless communication networks

ACM BuildSys 2010
2nd ACM Workshop On Embedded Sensing Systems For Energy-Efficiency In Buildings and Surroundings
Zurich, Switzerland - November 2, 2010, in conjunction with ACM SenSys 2010
http://buildsys.org/2010
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The World is increasingly experiencing a strong need for energy consumption reduction and a need for efficient use of scarce natural resources. Official studies report that buildings account for the largest portion of World's energy expenditure and have the fastest growth rate. Clearly, energy saving strategies that target energy use in buildings and surroundings can have a major impact worldwide, driving the current energy market toward self-sufficiency and self-sustainability. This calls for effective techniques and methods that enable accurate carbon foot printing, monitoring and control of appliance activity, energy auditing and management in buildings and surroundings and the generation of energy awareness.
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) plays a key role in enabling energy-saving systems in buildings and surrounding spaces by providing a reliable, cost-effective and extensible solution that can be placed in existing as well as new structures and be controlled via the Internet. In fact, WSNs allow the monitoring of the energy consumption in near-real time and, as such, they are an essential tool in the control loop that will be used in future structures for the generation and usage of diverse types of energy.
Following the success of the past edition of the workshop, BuildSys 2010 focuses on the intersection between WSNs and energy in buildings by merging experts in the WSN domain and experts in the Building/Energy community in order to identify innovative solutions which achieve the broad goal of energy-reduction.
The workshop welcomes sensor network-based techniques and applications that can clearly demonstrate how to:
* Increase energy awareness and reduce consumption by leveraging on sensing systems/social networking/mobile phones, novel visualization and other forms of media to convey relevant information to users;
* Systems that can influence a change of building occupant behaviour towards a more parsimonious usage of electricity, gas, heating, water, etc.;
* Monitor and actuate appliances in residential and industrial settings (e.g. data centre, HVAC, etc.)
* Monitor and control of alternative energy sources aiming at an increase of production efficacy;
* Model and simulate heating cooling lighting, ventilation, water usage and other energy flows in buildings and surrounding spaces through the combination of real data from sensors and popular energy simulation tools such as Energy Plus and TrnSys;
* Create innovative tools to model and visualize energy expenditure and production (from, e.g., solar panels, wind turbines);
* Integrate sensor-based systems to improve grid operation and energy distribution (electricity, gas, water);
Particular emphasis will also be given to:
* Real evaluation of energy-saving techniques and case studies that demonstrate a decrease of energy expenditure in real scenarios;
* Design of innovative architectures that are capable of reducing energy consumption and improve energy use efficiency;
* Accurate case studies and issues experienced current energy systems and how sensor networks can improve the state of the art in building energy management;
* Sensor systems for the identification of appliances in industrial and home environments, which can be used to estimate the energy usage/production model and to predict future demands;
* Innovative Sensor Network-assisted building monitoring systems (BMS);
* Integration of WSNs and wired sensor systems (e.g., Powerline, exing BMS) for the energy management in buildings.
Important dates:
* Submission deadline: 30 July 2010
* Notification of acceptance: 7 September 2010
* Camera Ready Due: 25 September 2010
* Workshop date: 2 November 2010
Technically co-sponsored by ACM[1]. Submissions will be peer-reviewed. The Proceedings will be archived in the ACM Digital Library.
