================================================================================
                Call for Papers for the Special Session on
    Wireless Models and Simulations for Consumer Communication and Networking,
                                held at
        IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)
        Held in conjunction with the International Consumer Electronics Show,
                Las Vegas, NV, USA, January 09-12, 2016

=== Scope and Motivation:
-------------------------
Wireless systems offer new challenges to network and systems  
designers. Heterogeneous scenarios, high mobility, energy limitation  
and bandwidth constraints embody tough optimization problems that  
should be extensively studied through model analysis and realistic  
simulations. In this context, it is crucial to bridge the gap between  
investigations of foundational nature and their application to  
practical wireless network design.
This track aims to provide an international technical forum to bring  
together experts from industry and academia from across the world, to  
discuss and present innovative ideas and the results of ongoing  
research.

=== Main Topics of Interest:
----------------------------
The Wireless Models and Simulations for Consumer Communication and  
Networking Special Session seeks original contributions in the  
following topical areas, plus others that are not explicitly listed  
but are closely related:

- Modeling, simulations and performance analysis
