The rise in wireless technologies for both local and wide-area networking, such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX, Bluetooth, ZigBee, 3G and LTE, means that the Internet is increasingly wireless. Moreover, theoretical advances on wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks, network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless networks in the following years.

To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community.
　
WiNMee 2013 is the ninth edition in the International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements series that began in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating production wireless networks
• Measurement and characterization of wireless networks traffic such as WLANs, cellular networks (including smartphone and mobile application traffic characteristics), wireless home networks, and sensor networks
• Experimental validation of network simulation and mobility models
• Measurement-based network management and troubleshooting
• Experiences and challenges with wireless measurements
• Methodologies for validating wireless test-bed results and improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration
• Methodologies for measuring heterogeneous wireless networks
• Techniques and experiences with collecting, archiving, anonymizing and sharing wireless measurement data
• Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems
• Metrics for wireless network performance evaluation
• Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility
• Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds
• Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks

The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six printed pages (IEEE Transactions style double-column format, 10pt font size) including figures. Only PDF files are acceptable. Papers can be prepared using either LaTeX or Microsoft Word. Do not put page numbers on your document. References should be numbered in alphabetical order by lead author last name. Within the text, citations to references should appear as the appropriate reference number in square brackets. The end of the document must include the list of cited references; please avoid unnecessary abbreviations in citations. Please make sure that all fonts and subset fonts are embedded. To check font embedding use one of the following approaches:

If using Adobe Reader, from the menu select File-)Properties... and then select the Fonts tab. You should see "(Embedded Subset)" next to each font and there should be no Type 3 fonts.

From a Linux/Unix terminal, execute the "pdffonts" command on your PDF document. The listing should show no Type 3 fonts, and all fonts listed should have "yes" under "emb" and "sub".

The paper should include a brief abstract of up to 150 words. The submission will be handled via EasyChair. If you don't have an EasyChair account, please sign up for an EasyChair account here. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be available via the IEEE Xplore website.
