Call for Papers
Iterative Decoding and Cross-Layering Techniques for
Multimedia Broadcasting and Communications

The explosive growth of multimedia applications over the
Internet and the ever-increasing users' demands over
commercial terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting all
over the world call for efficient physical and cross-layer
techniques able to mitigate the potential problems
limiting broadband services over wireless networks. In
this scenario, mobile multimedia is expected to be one of
the key services of future wireless mobile networks.
Meanwhile, recent advances in digital communications have
paved the way to a variety of standards aimed at providing
multimedia services over terrestrial broadband networks.
To cite but a few, DVB-H, T-DVB, T-DMB, wireless LANs, and
wireless MANs are some of the most recent standards
enabling such technology.

Iterative decoding techniques for both source, channel,
and joint source-channel coding and decoding and
cross-layering techniques have proven to be very effective
for providing a viable means of achieving
capacity-approaching performance at very reduced
computational burden.

The main aim of this special issue is to highlight
state-of-the-art techniques on the most recent research
advances enabling digital multimedia services over
broadband wireless networks, focused on physical and
cross-layering solutions. Novel contributions, previously
unpublished, that are not being submitted to any other
journal, are sought.

Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the
following subject categories:

Iterative decoding techniques for concatenated channel
codes (turbo codes and serially concatenated codes)
Iterative decoding techniques for joint source-channel
decoding
Novel capacity-approaching channel codes: coding
strategies and efficient decoding algorithms
Cross-layer modelling/analysis and optimization techniques
Standardization activities on digital multimedia
broadcasting protocols
Space-time coding and decoding
Novel MIMO solutions for counteracting multipath mobile
channels
Channel estimation and equalization
Improved channel equalization techniques for SIMO and MIMO
systems
Experimental testbeds
Hardware Implementation and SoC solutions
