Final Program 2008 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC2008) May 19 – 23, 2008 Beijing International Convention Center (BICC) Beijing, China http://www.ieee-icc.org/2008 Hosted by IEEE Communications Society IEEE Communications Society Beijing Section Organized by Chinese Institute of Electronics (CIE) Chinese Institute of Communications (CIC) Tsinghua University (THU) Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) Supported by Ministry of Information Industry (MII), China Beijing Municipal Government, China Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL CHAIR On behalf of the Executive Committee, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Beijing, China and the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC 2008), 19-23 May 2008. This will be an historical event for the IEEE Communications Society not only because China is currently experiencing a huge economic expansion, but also because this is the first ever IEEE ComSoc event being held in Beijing and it is also preceeding the Beijing Olympic Games. The theme “Communications: Faster-Higher-Stronger”, will provide an open platform for information exchange and discussion on topics related to major advances in telecommunications. IEEE ICC 2008 is jointly organized by the Chinese Institute of Electronics, Chinese Institute of Communications, Tsinghua University, and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, under the support of the Ministry of Information Industry of China, Beijing Municipal Government, National Science Foundation of China, and major telecommunication operators. The technical program will consist of 10 technical symposia disseminating the latest research and development results in the areas of telecommunications, tutorials and workshops on the latest business issues in communications and networking topics, and panel sessions for interactive discussions. China is one of the oldest cilivizations known to man. Since the implementation of an open policy in 1978 and enrollment of the WTO in 2002, China continues to grow at an alarming rate. The telecommunications industry and related research and development activities are also expanding its reach globally. Today, the Chinese telecommunications industry is serving over 367 million PSTN terminals with more than 556 million mobile users. Beijing, the capital city, is traditional yet a modern city attracting millions of visitors annually. Having the Olmypics in Beijing has insured that the social infrastructure and environment is ready for world class events. I invite you to join with us by attending the technical and the social events at IEEE ICC 2008 while enjoying the sights and sounds of this unforgettable and magnificent city. This is also an excellent opportunity to bring your family along for pre-conference and post-conference tours in a region that has many world-class tourist destinations. Once again, welcome to Beijing and enjoy IEEE ICC 2008! Jichuan Wu WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE TPC CHAIRS On behalf of the Technical Program Committee (TPC), it is with great honor and pleasure to welcome you to this exciting event, IEEE ICC 2008, in Beijing. This year, we had an overwhelming number of paper submissions. IEEE ICC 2008 received 3135 paper submissions from 58 countries and regions. No doubt, this is a new record in the history of IEEE ICCs/GLOBECOMs. All papers were carefully peer-reviewed by the 1053 TPC members and a large number of reviewers, with each paper reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. 1102 papers were selected and edited for presentation and publication. This accounts for a paper acceptance ratio of 35.15%. Of the 1102 accepted papers, 886 will be presented in oral sessions and 216 will be presented as posters. Both oral and poster papers are of the same quality but only differ from the form of presentations. Accepted papers were then grouped into 150 oral sessions and 32 poster sessions under the 10 technical symposia. The Engineering Management mini-conference is a new trial in the history of ICC/Globecom, and is jointly sponsored by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Technological Management Council. Based on the paper scores, the review comments, and the recommendation from the corresponding symposium chairs, 11 papers have been selected to receive the IEEE ICC 2008 Best Paper Awards. In addition to the technical sessions, a total of 77 tutorials, 15 workshops, and 11 panel proposals have been received from open calls. After careful reviews by the corresponding co-chairs, 26 tutorials, 8 workshops (with 102 papers), and 9 panels have been selected and will be presented at the conference. The purpose of these workshops and panels is to provide a platform for presenting the latest technical and business issues in communications and networking topics as well as novel ideas and more specific research areas in a less formal and possibly more focused way. Another highlight of the conference is the Keynote Addresses. This year, 5 keynotes will be delivered by distinguished scientific experts and industry leaders from the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and America. These include Dr. Jianzhou Wang (CEO of China Mobile Communication Corporation), Dr. Xiaochu Wang (CEO of China Telecommunication Corporation), Prof. Vincent Poor (Princeton University), Dr. Stephan Scholz (CTO of Nokia Siemens Networks), and Dr. Jan Uddenfeldt (Senior Vice President of Ericsson). During the Award Luncheon, a keynote speech by Mr. Scott McGregor (CEO of Broadcom) has also been planned. Moreover, several special sessions within the so-called "China Forums" have been arranged to address the fast-developing Chinese telecommunication markets. You will find the technical program of IEEE ICC2008 very stimulating, informative and inspiring. Such program would not be possible without the hard work and devotion of many of our volunteers. In particular, we would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the exceptional work rendered by all the Symposia chairs, Tutorial chairs, Panel chairs, Mini-conference chairs, as well as the Workshop chairs and their TPC members and reviewers who made high quality reviews under a tight schedule. We cordially invite all of you to join us and interact with experts in the communications and networking field from all around the world. We highly encourage interactions with our outstanding keynote speakers and panelists as they are all distinguished in their fields. In the meantime, do not forget to enjoy our beautiful city and the many amenities that it has to offer to special visitors and guests. We assure you will have a memorable experience at ICC 2008 in Beijing.
