Roman MASLENNIKOV received M.S. degree in Radiophysics from Lobachevski State University of Nizhny Novgorod in 2002. From 2003 to 2009, he was with Intel Corporation, Wireless Standards and Technologies Group, working on investigations of Wi-Fi and WiMAX communication systems and participating in the IEEE 802.16e,m and IEEE 802.11ad standards development. Since 2009, Roman is technical manager for the Wireless Competence Center of Lobachevski State University of Nizhny Novgorod, where he is working on collaborative projects between the University and industrial telecommunication companies including such world leaders as Nokia Siemens Networks and Intel. Roman Maslennikov’s research interests include signal processing for wireless communication systems, multiple antenna algorithms, and communication systems simulations and prototyping. Roman is an author of more than 30 conference and journal papers and holds 6 US patents.

 

Background and Topics

The rapid proliferation of wireless cellular systems over the last decade has introduced fundamental changes to ”anytime, anywhere” Mobile Internet access, as well as posed new challenges for the research community. The next generation of broadband standards, such as IEEE 802.16m enhancements and LTE-Advanced, target aggressive improvements in all aspects of wireless system design, including system capacity, energy efficiency and quality of service. Promising next generation technologies cover, for example, more advanced antenna technologies on mobile platforms, advanced network topologies, cross-layer and co-operative transmission techniques.

The Workshop aims to bring together the researchers from academia and the experts from industry to address recent advances in the design, modeling, prototyping, implementation, standardization, and deployment of broadband wireless access networks. It is held in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Telecommunications for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITST), St. Petersburg, Russia on 23-25th August, 2011.

Topics of the 2nd RABAN Workshop include, but not limited to, the following:

  • Cross-layer optimization concepts
  • Energy efficiency and power management
  • Co-operative techniques and traffic relaying
  • Multi-access networks and multi-radio terminals
  • Network cognition and self-configuration
  • Multi-tier network technologies and architectures
  • Mobile broadband traffic support
  • Vehicular networks
  • Client quality of experience enhancement
  • Machine-to-machine communications
  • Interference mitigation approaches
  • Distributed antenna architectures
  • Advanced MIMO techniques
  • Channel estimation techniques and channel models
  • Spectrum management and regulatory issues

Submission Instructions

The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing cutting-edge, state-of-the-art, previously unpublished and complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal.
Papers in double column IEEE format must be submitted electronically via the EDAS system and should not exceed 6 pages. Proceedings of the Workshop will be published in IEEE Xplore and indexed in the relevant databases.
