[Tccc] cfps: Models and Algorithms for Wireless Mesh Networks

A Special Issue of –Ad Hoc Networks-
On "MODELS AND ALGORITHMS FOR
WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS"
The increasing demand of wire-free connectivity has been driving the
development of new and easy-to-deploy wireless networking solutions.
Within this field, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are envisioned to
provide an effective solution for several services and applications
domains, such as community networks and municipal networks. On the
other hand, WMN deployments pose several challenges to the network
designers and operators. First, WMNs often feature large scales in terms
of the number of network devices, users, and services to be supported,
and in terms of their geographical dimensions. Further, communication
support in WMNs is carried out through the "cooperation" of wireless
devices in a multi-hop manner, and it requires different algorithms and
protocols (medium access control, routing, transport) that interact in a
nontrivial manner. The network designers and operators often do not
have complete control over the environment, and hence WMNs must be
able to self-configure and adapt to unpredictable changes automatically.
Such distinctive features and intrinsic complexity of WMNs call for a
deeper understanding on the fundamental principles governing these
networks.
To this extent, the design, analysis and deployment of WMNs require
quantitative methods to plan/optimize the network structure, to assess
the network performances (e.g., in terms of, throughput, delay and
energy consumption), as well as to steer the design of low-complexity
centralized/distributed algorithms and communication protocols.
The purpose of this special issue is to collect papers on cutting-edge
research about the theoretical foundations of wireless mesh networking.
Contributions are solicited within the two broad fields of performance
evaluation and algorithm design for WMNs. The submitted paper must
have a consistent analytical and theoretical flavor. Contributions with
experimental performance evaluation only fall outside the scope of the
special issue.
