Call for Papers

Wireless communications are becoming increasingly pervasive, as the number
and diffusion of portable wireless-equipped devices is exponentially
increasing (ranging from cellular phones to handheld game consoles, from
personal digital assistant and personal navigation devices to still and
video cameras). This results into an unprecedented request for lightweight,
wireless communication devices with high usability and performance able to
support added-value services in a highly mobile environment - following the
user everywhere he goes (at work, at home, while traveling, in a classroom,
etc.). This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing
communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to
support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy.

This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers relating to
Mobile Lightweight Wireless Systems. Researchers working in these areas
worldwide are invited to contribute original and unpublished papers for
consideration in this Special Issue. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:

. Wireless communication systems (IEEE 802.11x, WiMAX, IEEE 802.15,
Personal Area Networks, Bluetooth, wireless USB, HiperLAN2)

. Cellular Networks (2.5G, 3G, 3G LTE, LTE-A)

. Ultra Wide Band

. Next Generation Networks

. Next generation lightweight devices (smart phones, PDAs)

. Available and emerging solutions for lightweight systems

. Internetworking and interoperability

. Protocol stack design (layering, cross-layering)

. Performance evaluation and optimization

. Service-Oriented architectures

. Cognitive radios and networks

. Seamless roaming

. Voice and Voice over IP

. Location services

. Emerging and next generation services

. Service provisioning

. Value-Added services

. Users' needs and requirements
