SYMPOSIUM ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR ACCESS SYSTEMS AND NETWORKS
Masaaki Katayama, Nagoya University (katayama@nuee.nagoya-u.ac.jp)
Sponsoring Technical Committees
Power Line Communications
Transmission, Access & Optical Systems
Scope
Access networks have become one of the most active fields of research, development, and new-technology deployment in the telecommunications arena. Progress in multimedia, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video streaming (conventional and high-definition), IPTV, and home networking are paving the way for a central role of broadband access in tomorrow's networks. Broadband access employs a variety of transmission media such as traditional copper based telephone lines (xDSL), power lines (PLC), optical fibers (PONs & AONs), and radio waves (WLAN, M-LAN & mobile phones). Current and future access lines will lead to a new generation of indoor LANs. Understanding the behaviors and performance characteristics of these new generation indoor networks is important to optimize the delivery of the required Quality of Service (QoS) to end users.

Presentation Style
The IEEE GLOBECOM 2009 Technical Program Committee will go through a rigorous process to review all the papers submitted and select the best ones among them. The accepted papers will be presented in the conference either in a lecture style or in a poster style format. This distinction has no relationship with the quality of the accepted papers whatsoever. It is purely due to the limitations of the conference rooms available for lecture style presentations. Papers will be selected for lecture-style or poster-style presentation, solely based on the need to ensure topic homogeneity in lecture-style sessions. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and IEEExplore without any indication of the presentation mode.
