[Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC (Journal on Selected Areas in Communications) Special Issue: Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers

CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications
Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers

Remote control, media streaming, and interactive multimedia applications are
becoming increasingly prevalent uses of the Internet and cellular networks.
Because these applications require high rate and low latency, they are not
well
matched to best effort statistically multiplexed network architectures. In
order to efficiently and reliably deliver such low latency high rate
services,
it is necessary to understand the fundamental and practical tradeoffs
between
rate and delay for network communication.

This special issue solicits original research utilizing a broad spectrum of
technical approaches to manage rate and delay at the application and
transport
layers, including i) information theoretic limits, ii) the design of source
and
network coding schemes, iii) queueing theoretic models and network control,
and
iv) protocol design, implementation, and performance evaluation.
Information
theoretic approaches may involve error exponent and/or unequal erasure
protection schemes as well as new theoretical analyses of multiresolution
and
multiple description source coding. Coding approaches to the problem
include
the use of fountain codes, practical multiple description source code
design,
delay aware network coding, and hybrid network coding ARQ schemes. Network
control approaches may incorporate the queueing theoretic and/or network
utility
maximization paradigms. Solutions that focus on architectural (e.g.,
DiffServ
and IntServ) and protocol (e.g., RTMP) design as well as practical
deployment
issues are also encouraged.

Approaches which focus on the relationship between rate and delay over a
single
link are explicitly excluded from the scope, as the issue will focus on end
to
end multi-link and overlay approaches.

Relevant tools and techniques include:

*Network coding
*Overlay networks
*Queueing based performance analysis
*Controlled queues
*Fountain codes
*Multi-resolution and multiple description source codes
*Error exponents
*Network utility maximization
*Multiclass architectures (e.g., DiffServ, IntServ)
*Multimedia protocol solutions (e.g., RTMP)
*Streaming and live streaming multimedia/data
*Multicast
*P2P streaming and live streaming
*TCP-friendly approaches

All submissions should be prepared in a manner consistent with the JSAC
guidelines available at www.jsac.ucsd.edu/guidelines/info.html, and should
be
submitted via email to rdTradeSpecIss@gmail.com.

Submission deadline: July 1, 2010
Acceptance notification: November 1, 2010
Final manuscript due to COMSOC: January 1, 2011
Publication: 2nd quarter 2011
