Telecommunication Systems Journal (Springer)

Call for Papers

Special issue on: Challenges in Next-Generation and Resource-

Constrained Networks

Network technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. Researchers are
currently envisioning different attractive

properties of wireless systems such as the ability to self-organize,
self-configure, self-heal, self-manage and self-maintain.

Different networks having the potential to offer cost-effective home and
enterprise access networking solutions are being

researched. Concepts such as dynamic spectrum access, convergence, unified
network architectures and seamless service

access in heterogeneous networks are gaining widespread popularity.
Technologies such as Wireless Mesh Networks

(WMNs), WiFi, WiMax, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.20, IEEE 802.22 and software
defined radio are gaining popularity. Even

though these technologies hold great promises for our future, there are
several research challenges that need to be addressed.

This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers relating to
the recent advances in the challenges faced by

next-generation and resource-constrained networks. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to the following:

. Next Generation Core Networks

. Next Generation Wired Access Networks

. Next Generation Wireless Access Networks

. Next Generation Cellular wireless networks

. Next Generation Network Services

. Next Generation Network Multimedia Support

. High-capacity Networks

. Resource-constrained networks

. Wireless Internet

. Software defined radio

. Ultra-wide band radio

. Emerging Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

. Wireless Mesh Networks

. IEEE 802.11 / IEEE 802.20 / IEEE 802.22

. Emerging wireless network security issues

. Emerging issues in 3G and 4G wireless

networks

. Emerging wireless network architecture

. Multimedia over emerging wireless networks

. Underwater Sensor Networks

. Underground Sensor Networks

. Cooperative wireless communications

. Multi-hop relay wireless communications

. Interoperability between high-capacity and

low-capacity networks.

It should be emphasized that this Special Issue will be dedicated to only
the emerging and next-generation communication

network technologies. Authors are discouraged from submitting papers
relating to technologies that have existed for long.
