WIRELESS AND MOBILE NETWORKING
IFIP – The International Federation for Information Processing

IFIP was founded in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO, following the First World
Computer Congress held in Paris the previous year. An umbrella organization for
societies working in information processing, IFIP's aim is two-fold: to support
information processing within its member countries and to encourage technology transfer
to developing nations. As its mission statement clearly states,

IFIP's mission is to be the leading, truly international, apolitical
organization which encourages and assists in the development,
exploitation and application of information technology for the benefit
of all people.

IFIP is a non-profitmaking organization, run almost solely by 2500 volunteers. It operates
through a number of technical committees, which organize events and publications.
IFIP's events range from an international congress to local seminars, but the most
important are:

• The IFIP World Computer Congress, held every second year;
• Open conferences;
• Working conferences.

The flagship event is the IFIP World Computer Congress, at which both invited and
contributed papers are presented. Contributed papers are rigorously refereed and the
rejection rate is high.

As with the Congress, participation in the open conferences is open to all and papers may
be invited or submitted. Again, submitted papers are stringently refereed.

The working conferences are structured differently. They are usually run by a working
group and attendance is small and by invitation only. Their purpose is to create an
atmosphere conducive to innovation and development. Refereeing is less rigorous and
papers are subjected to extensive group discussion.

Publications arising from IFIP events vary. The papers presented at the IFIP World
Computer Congress and at open conferences are published as conference proceedings,
while the results of the working conferences are often published as collections of selected
and edited papers.

Any national society whose primary activity is in information may apply to become a full
member of IFIP, although full membership is restricted to one society per country. Full
members are entitled to vote at the annual General Assembly, National societies
preferring a less committed involvement may apply for associate or corresponding
membership. Associate members enjoy the same benefits as full members, but without
voting rights. Corresponding members are not represented in IFIP bodies. Affiliated
membership is open to non-national societies, and individual and honorary membership
schemes are also offered.

Preface
Research and development in wireless and mobile networks and services areas
have been going on for some time, reaching the stage of products. Graceful evolu-
tion of networks, new access schemes, flexible protocols, increased variety of
services and applications, networks reliability and availability, security, are some
of the present and future challenges that have to be met.
MWCN (Mobile and Wireless Communications Networks) and PWC
(Personal Wireless Communications) are two conferences sponsored by IFIP WG
6.8 that provide forum for discussion between researchers, practitioners and
students interested in new developments in mobile and wireless networks,
services, applications and computing.
In 2008, MWCN and PWC were held in Toulouse, France, from September
30 to October 2, 2008. MWNC’2008 and PWC’2008 were coupled to form the
first edition of IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC’2008).
MWCN and PWC topics were revisited in order to make them complementary
and covering together the main hot issues in wireless and mobile networks,
services, applications, computing, and technologies.
A total of 81 papers were submitted (50 to MWCN and 31 to PWC) by
authors from 22 countries. Submitted papers were evaluated by program commit-
tee members assisted by external reviewers. Each paper was reviewed by three re-
viewers. 37 papers (22 from MWCN submissions and 15 from PWC submissions)
were then selected and included in this book. The selected papers illustrate the
state of the art, current discussions, and development trends in the areas of wire-
less and mobile networks and services. The contributions published in this book
underline the international importance of the related field of research. They cover
a variety of topics including: Wireless LANs, Sensor networks, Ad hoc networks,
UMTS networks, Cellular networks, Mobility, Localization, Routing, Quality of
service, IMS, Network management, Energy efficiency, and Security.
We heartily thank the steering committee, the program committee, and the ex-
ternal reviewers, for their efforts and hard work. Without their support, the pro-
gram organization of this conference would not have been possible. We would
like to thank all the authors for their paper submission, as well as Springer pub-
lishing service for their good cooperation during the preparation of this book. We
are also indebted to many individuals and organizations that made this conference
possible: Paul Sabatier University, IRIT, ISAE, LAAS, and IFIP. Finally, many
thanks to the local organizers and all the other people who helped with the confer-
ence organization.
