[Tccc] call for papers: Mobile WiMax

Call for Papers
A Special Issue of Computer Networks
On "Mobile WiMAX"
Mobile services enable voice communications at home, office, and
outdoors. Thus, we are accessible all the time. Similarly, wireless data
networks enable data connectivity even when we are away from our
desktop computers. Thus, we are online all the time. In a nutshell,
wireless networks have been shaping the life styles of the users for the
last two decades. Nevertheless, the tide has turned, and now user
requirements are once again shaping the technology. Today, users want
the bandwidth at the desktop to be made available in a ubiquitous
manner for different devices such as laptops, netbooks, and
smartphones. DSL-equivalent bandwidth should be made available
anywhere, even on-the-move. To make things worse, mobile devices and
applications are becoming more bandwidth-hungry day by day to
enhance user experience. Applications that were once available only to
desktop computers are now ported to mobile devices. Most notebook
computers run on wireless even at home or in the office. With the
deployment of IPTV services, we are now discussing triple- and quadplay.
Therefore, today's wireless wide-area technologies must provide
high data rates with proper QoS provisioning for nomadic and mobile
users.
This is where Mobile WiMAX diverges from most other wireless
networks. Designed for high data-rate and QoS provisioning as the
primary objectives, Mobile WiMAX is the best candidate for nextgeneration
wireless technology. Mobile WiMAX is now under
consideration by the ITU to become the IMT-Advanced technology to
provide a very high speed Mobile Internet with superior QoS for our nextgeneration
wireless communication needs. Thus, research on Mobile
WiMAX fosters support of very high data rates with better QoS support
while enabling more seamless mobility.
About the Mobile WiMAX Special Issue
This special issue is dedicated to capturing the state-of-the-art and the recent advances in WiMAX technology.
