SCOPE:With diversification of wireless access technologies and their application fields, the role of wireless access is no longer the last hop terminal access, but also for repeating functionality such as mesh/multi-hop/ad-hoc/sensor networking. Thereby more complicated wireless network management, especially radio resource management is required to organize the networks well as a whole. As the optimal wireless resource management based on a centralized control policy becomes difficult to implement in practice, distributed and/or cooperative control techniques should be introduced in necessary parts in any layer, such as distributed antenna, cognitive radio, distributed MAC, and dynamic heterogeneous networking. Even in a cellular system, the design of distributed control strategies becomes a key issue for realizing cooperative/coordinated MIMO and multi-hop cellular networks.
