Special Issue on "Cross-Layer Design for Future Generation Wireless Networks"
With the rapid development of wireless technologies, the future generation wireless networks have more
challenges for providing reliable and high quality end-to-end performance in wireless multimedia communications.
Recently, a cross-layer design has become a popular topic in which more and more researchers are engaged. That
leads to a lot of cross-layer design proposals for wireless networks. This special issue is intended to foster
state-of-the-art research pertaining to cross-layer design in the area of future generation wireless networks. The
emphasis of this special issue will be on cross-layer protocol interactions and design of cross-layer optimized
techniques. The issue will focus on a range of future generation wireless networks cross-layer design related
topics including network architectures, mobility management, session mobility, security mechanism, services, and
novel applications associated with their utilization, and hybrid routing protocols for mobile wireless networks, e.g.,
cellular/WLAN/WiMAX/ad hoc networks. Submitted papers for this special issue are expected to focus on
cross-layer design related to future generation wireless networks and to present novel results and solutions to
solve various problems and challenges foreseen in future generation wireless networks. All submitted papers will
be peer-reviewed. Final selection of papers will be based on their quality and relevance to this special issue as well
as the journal. Papers submitted for consideration for this special issue must be written in English and describe
original research not published or currently under review by other journals.
