CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Computer Systems, Networks, and Communications
Special issue on WiMAX, LTE and WiFi Interworking
Guest Editors: Rashid A. Saeed, Ahmed A. Mabrouk, Amitava Mukherjee, Francisco Falcone and K. Daniel Wong
====================================================================================
Although both WiMAX, LTE and WiFi provide wireless broadband connectivity, they have been optimized for different usage models: WiFi for very high-speed WLAN connectivity and WiMAX, LTE for high-speed Wireless WAN (WWAN) connectivity. By combining WiMAX, LTE and WiFi technologies, service providers can offer their subscribers a more complete suite of broadband services in more places. The unique similarities between WiMAX, LTE and WiFi networks that make the proposed synergy is promising is these technologies are fully packet switching uses IP-based technologies to provide connection services to the Internet. This standards- and IP-based network approach provides compelling benefits to service providers to collaborate between these technologies.
This special issue is intended to foster state-of-the-art research in the area of WiMAX, WiBro, LTE and WiFi networking and the corresponding technical advances in the design and deployment of feasible network architectures and protocols and to present novel results and solutions to solve various problems and challenges foreseen in WiMAX/LTE and WiFi interworking. The special issue will cover the following topical areas but are not limited to them:
• WiMAX, WiBro, MobileFi, LTE and WiFi communications systems
• Single/dual radio handover
• Network architecture alternatives for inter-working and integration
• Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
• Seamless vertical handover and session continuity.
• Multi-radio coexistence and power management
• Authentication, Authorization and Accounting
• Security issues
• Common charging and billing
• Quality of services (QoS)
• Interworking using IMS, SIP, MIH, VCC and UMA
• IEEE802.11u, IEEE802.16g/j/m/h
• Scenarios and usage cases
• WiMAX,WiBro, LTE and WiFi Interworking Testbed
• Hybrid wireless mesh network
• Applications, VOIP, video streaming, etc
• IP Mobile, roaming and mobility management
• Core network architecture
• Fixed-mobile convergence (FMC)
• PHY, MAC, IP and upper layers issues
