INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
Special Issue on 'Advances in Multimedia Communications'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Submission deadline: 1 May 2010
OVERVIEW:
Recent advances in communications technologies have witnessed a growing and
evolving multimedia content delivery market based on information gathering,
manipulation, and dissemination. It is a fact that personal communications,
computing, broadcasting, entertainment, etc. have turned into streams of
multimedia content, and the various communication and network technologies
have become the means to carry that content to a wide variety of terminals.
Unlike traditional communication systems, a fundamental challenge for
present and future communication systems is the ability to transport
multimedia content over a variety of networks energy-efficiently at
different channel conditions and bandwidth capacities with various
requirements of quality-of-service. There are many issues need to be
addressed such as signal processing, collaborations, power management,
flexible delivery, specialization of new content, dynamic access,
telecommunications, networking, etc., due to the multi-disciplinary nature
of the applications in advanced multimedia communications.
The goal of this issue is to bring together the state of the art research
contribution that describes original and unpublished work addressing the new
emerging techniques on multimedia communications. Especially, we solicit
research papers on addressing challenging issues existing for enabling
mobile multimedia communications over heterogeneous infrastructure for
realizing next generation networking and computing, e.g., 4 G all IP
networks, ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, ubiquitous computing
environments, cognitive radio networks, etc. For example, ubiquitous
multimedia is a requirement in next generation networks, such as multimedia
adaption in wireless network; multimedia services in ubiquitous
circumstance; improving distributed multimedia communication through
location awareness, action awareness, user awareness, etc. On the other
hand, due to the limited computational power, memory and battery energy in
wireless and portable terminals, power efficient design also plays important
role in next generation mobile multimedia applications.
TOPICS:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope:
1 New emerging multimedia applications and architectures:
* IPTV, 3DTV, and mobile TV-related efforts
* Enabling multimedia capability in E-healthcare, Smart house, etc.

* Ubiquitous and 'green' multimedia design next-generation networks
2 Video communication over next-generation networks
* Energy-efficient and scalable control in next-generation wireless video
terminals
* Cost-effective and low-power video coding design in wireless networks
* Frontiers in game theory and multimedia systems
* Distributed video coding and dissemination in wireless networks
3 Emerging technologies for multimedia communications
* Multimedia communications in new emerging systems
(e.g. heterogeneous networks, relay networks, LTE-Advanced)
* Resource allocation in energy-constrained wireless multimedia networks
* Collaborative in-network processing
* Cross-layer design for multimedia communications
* Distributed coding and joint source-channel coding
* Error resilience and concealment
* Resource allocation and system scheduling
* Multimedia security
