It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2012 International Workshop on Practical Issues and Applications in Next Generation Wireless Networks (PINGEN) in conjunction with ACM MOBICOM 2012, ?stanbul, Turkey, August 26, 2012 ACM Symposium on General Subjects Information & Technologies -- PINGEN'12.
The mission of this workshop is to focus on design and deployment issues of next generation wireless infrastructures, potentially made up of heterogeneous access technologies, supporting a wide range of applications and user needs in a coherent and unified manner. PINGEN'12 brings together people from different research areas, and provides a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia in all aspects of next generation wireless networks.
The call for papers attracted 13 submissions from Asia, Europe and the United States, including the encouraged submissions redirected by ENMS'12. The program committee accepted 9 papers that cover a variety of topics, including mobile data offloading techniques, smart power grids, M2M data transfer and channel estimation, allocation schemes for LTE networks. We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for researchers and developers.
In addition, the workshop also features a keynote speech by Dr. Coskun Sahin, the CTO of Avea -- the sole GSM 1800 mobile operator of Turkey, on "Mobile Era: Trends, Challenges and Opportunities for Mobile operators". Avea is the only mobile operator in the country which holds a state recognized R&D center certificate. We anticipate that Dr. Sahin's address will shed light onto the dynamics of R&D activities in the sector and, in this regard, will provoke valuable insights into the future of mobile operator business.

Cost efficient data transfer for M2M infrastructure with heterogeneous wireless networks
Machine-to-machine (M2M) networking that connects and manages machines has been gaining much attention and enabling new business models based on emerging applications. For a practical development of M2M networking, cost-effective, scalable, and ...
A first look at 802.11n power consumption in smartphones
We report the first measurement study of 802.11n power consumption in smartphones. Using a popular 802.11n-enabled smartphone and an 802.11n wireless testbed, we evaluate the power and energy consumption on the phone for a variety of configurations ...
Spatial uplink mobile data offloading leveraging store-carry-forward paradigm
The growing popularity of mobile data communication has been leading a growing lack of radio resource on a cellular network. Therefore, to avoid the data traffic from exceeding the capacity limit of a cellular base station (BS), cellular operators have ...
Joint access control and subchannel allocation scheme for OFDMA femtocell network using a truthful mechanism
Femtocells are low-power cellular base stations that can improve indoor coverage and offload data traffic from the macrocell network. Nevertheless, access control that has strong impacts on interference mitigation is still an important issue for the ...
WiFi access point deployment for efficient mobile data offloading
Recently, there has been a tremendous increase in mobile data usage with the wide-spread proliferation of smartphone like devices. However, this increased demand from users has caused severe traffic overloading in cellular networks. Offloading the ...
