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 quad-play. 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 next-generation 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
next-generation 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. Papers describing mathematical models, algorithms,
protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of computing and
communication architectures are solicited for this special issue. Topics of
interest include (but are not limited to):
• Modulation and Coding for WiMAX
• Channel estimation, Measurement, and Modelling
• Antenna and MIMO techniques
• MAC, Scheduling, QoS provisioning
• Mobility Management and Handover
• Radio resource allocation, Cross-layer design
• Power management (sleep mode, idle mode, DCR mode)
• Co-existence with other radio networks
• Network planning, Spectrum management, and Regulations
• Deployment, Field Trials, Inter-operation, New Services
• New Service Models
• End-to-End Network Architecture
Submission format
All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain
only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review
for any other journal or conference. Papers must not exceed 25 pages
(one-column, at least 11pt fonts) including figures, tables, and references. A
detailed submission guideline is available as "Guide to Authors" at
www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet.
