Preface
Today’swirelessdevicesandinterfacesaremainlydesignedasmonolithic,closed
sourcesystems.Assuch,theyexhibitlimitedconfigurationandadaptationcapa-
bilitiestotheevolvingneedsofwirelessoperatorsandendcustomers.Innovation
thus faces two major hurdles. On the one hand, new approaches and protocols
mustundergoaslowstandardizationprocessbeforebeingincludedinnewprod-
ucts, even if modifications and extensions of existing standards are “marginal”
and only related to tiny details. On the other hand even when technologies and
solutions are provided via open and programmer-accessible frameworks (e.g.,
open source firmware or drivers), implementation complexity, platform depen-
dency, and lack of modularity prevent all but core experts from successfully
performing modifications in the wireless stack.
All this can be highly improved if existing wireless access standards based
on closed architecture move toward new modular flexible architectures, oppor-
tunistically open for customization. Nowadays, many researchers from all over
the world are involved in designing such architectures for the next generation
wireless technologies (Google yields about 3,000,000 results for the keywords
“flexible architecture of wireless networks”).
Held in Kalinigrad, Russia, during September 4–6, 2013, the International
Workshop on Wireless Access Flexibility (WiFlex 2013) was the first forum in-
tendedtoaddressflexiblewirelessaccessarchitecturedesignthatopensthedoor
forinnovativesolutionssignificantlyimprovingnetworkperformanceevenifthey
do not fully conform to current telecommunication standards.
It is our great pleasure to present the proceedings of WiFlex 2013. The con-
tributions gathered in the book describe the latest results and novel research
ideas. We would like to thank all authors and, of course, the ProgramCommit-
teewhodidawonderfuljobofcriticallyreviewingthe submissionsandselecting
the 13 strongest papers. Our gratitude goes to keynote speakers Prof. Mischa
Dohler, Prof. Petri M¨ah¨onen, and Prof. Adam Wolisz, brilliant lectors and out-
standing researchers, who gave insights into hot topics of wireless evolution.
Also, we would like to express our gratitude to all the participants and local
organizers, who helped to make WiFlex 2013 a very successful event, and to
the Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy
ofScience (IITP RAS), the STRADO Scientific andOrganizationalCenter,and
the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) for sponsorship.

Keynotes
Machine-to-Machine in Smart Cities & Smart Grids:
Vision, Technologies & Applications
Prof. Mischa Dohler, Kings College London, UK
Theunprecedentedcommunicationparadigmofmachine-to-machine(M2M),
facilitating 24/7 ultra-reliable connectivity between a prior unseen number of
automated devices, is currently gripping both industrial as well as academic
communities. Whilst applications are diverse, the in-home market is of partic-
ular interest since undergoing a fundamental shift of machine-to-human com-
munications towards fully automatized M2M. The aim of this keynote is thus
to provide academic, technical and industrial insights into latest key aspects of
wireless M2M networks, with particular application to the emerging smart city
and smart grid verticals.
Notably, I will provide an introduction to the particularities of M2M sys-
tems. Architectural, technical and privacy requirements, and thus applicable
technologieswill be discussed. Notably, we will dwell on the capillary and cellu-
larembodiments ofM2M. The focus of capillaryM2M, useful for real-timedata
gathering in homes, will be on IEEE (.15.4e) and IETF (6LoWPAN, ROLL,
COAP) standards compliant low-power multihop networking designs; further-
more, low power Wifi will be dealt with and positioned into the eco-system of
capillary M2M. The focus of cellular M2M will be on latest activities, status
andtrendsinleadingM2MstandardizationbodieswithtechnicalfocusonETSI
M2M and 3GPP LTE-MTC.
Open technical challenges, along with the industrys vision on M2M and its
shift of industries, will be discussed during the talk.
Looking in Rearview Mirror:
Is there such thing as spectrum congestion?
Prof. Petri M¨aho¨nen, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Anumberofrecentstudies,especiallyfromdifferentindustrygroups,predict
an exponential increase of data traffic that could correspond to a 1000-fold in-
creaseintrafficwithinadecade.Theseestimationshaveledtothepredictionsof
“spectrum congestion” or traffic crunch. The figures and discussion on required
actionsareverysimilartoonesdeportedduringthelastInternetboomadecade
ago. In this talk we pose the fundamental question on what do we mean with
the trafficloadandfollowwiththe questionifweareexperiencingthe spectrum
scarcity. We then explore various solutions to solve the possible problem with
technological or other means. We specifically ask if Moores law can rescue once

more from the exponential traffic increase, or if something else is required. Fi-
nally we conclude on asking what is the role of access technology flexibility and
software defined networking has on solving traffic problems.
How to Influence the Major Trends in Mobile
Communication?
Prof. Adam Wolisz, TU Berlin, Germany
Accommodation of the predicted rapid growth of mobile data traffic is cre-
ating serious challenges.
In this talk I will separate the notion of mobile data service and the data
transport needed for the service.
Wearguethatitisdesirableandfeasibletomitigatethetrafficvolumeneeded
for achieving satisfactory services. In addition, we argue that traffic volume is
not a proper measure reflecting the “transportation effort” in mobile commu-
nication. Various means to reduce this “transportation effort” and measures to
quantifyitwillbe presented.We concludethatmoreeffortshouldbedevotedto

In this talk the above issues will be discussed from the technology point of
