TheIFIP TC-6 InternationalConferenceonPersonalWirelessCommunications, PWC, is the main conference of the IFIP Working Group 6.8, Mobile and Wi- lessCommunications.The11thPWCwasheldinAlbacete,Spain,onSeptember 20-22, 2006. There were 181 submissions from 29 countries, which were evalu- ed by the program committee members assisted by external reviewers. After a thorough review process, 45 papers were selected to be included in the program. Thus, the acceptance rate was 24%. The papers selected in this volume illustrate the state of the art and current trends in the broad area of personal wireless communications. The program was organized into 9 topics: 1. Mobile and Wireless Networking 2. QoS 3. Ad-Hoc 4. Security 5. Wireless LAN 6. Cross-Layer Design 7. Wireless Sensor Networks 8. Physical Layer 9. Mobile and Wireless Applications. We are grateful to the two keynote speakers, Hari Kalva and Pedro Marron, foracceptingourinvitation.Wewouldliketothank allthemembersoftheTe- nical Program Committee and the additional referees. Without their support, the conference organization would not have been possible. Last but not least, we are also grateful to all the authors and participants who trusted us to or- nize this event and to Springer's LNCS Editorial for supporting us again this year. We expect PWC 2006 to have been a fruitful and stimulating internati- al forum for exchanging ideas and experiences in the area of personal wireless communications.

International Federation for Information Processing The IFIP series publishes state-of-the-art results in the sciences and technologies of information and communication. The scope of the series includes: foundations of computer science; software theory and practice; education; computer applications in technology; communication systems; systems modeling and optimization; information systems; computers and society; computer systems technology; security and protection in information processing systems; artificial intelligence; and human-computer interaction. Proceedings and post-proceedings of referred international conferences in computer science and interdisciplinary fields are featured. These results often precede journal publication and represent the most current research. The principal aim of the IFIP series is to encourage education and the dissemination and exchange of information about all aspects of computing.
