Special issue on: Security Challenges in Emerging and Next-Generation
Wireless Communication Networks
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Wireless 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
wireless 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, ZigBee, RFID, IEEE 802.20,
IEEE 802.22 and software defined radio are becoming increasingly
popular. Even though these technologies hold great promises for our
future, there are several research challenges that need to be
addressed. A significant portion of these research challenges are
attributed to security and privacy issues in these kinds of networks.
This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers
related to the recent advances in the security and privacy of
different emerging and next-generation network technologies. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the security and privacy
issues and challenges in the following:
* Emerging Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks
* Wireless Mesh Networks
* Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET)
* Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTN)
* Underwater Sensor Networks
* Underground Sensor Networks
* Cooperative wireless communications
* Next Generation Wireless Network Services
* Wireless Telemedicine and e-health
* Next Generation Wireless Access Networks
* IEEE 802.11/802.20/802.22
* Emerging issues in 3G and 4G wireless
* Next Generation Cellular wireless networks
* Wireless Internet
* Software defined radio
* Ultra-wide band radio
* Emerging wireless network security issues
* Emerging wireless network architecture
* Multimedia over emerging wireless networks
* Inter-working of new and existing networks.
