Special Issue on
Data Management and Network Control in Wireless Networks
Introduction and Motivation:
This special issue is focused on defining new problems and developing novel
techniques for data management and network control issues in wireless and
mobile networks. With the emergence of data-intensive wireless networks such
as wireless sensor networks and data-centric mobile applications such as
location-based services, the traditional boundaries between the disciplines
of wireless networking and data management are blurring.
This special issue provides a venue for researchers to present new ideas
with impact on two communities -wireless networks and databases. Researchers
and practitioners working in these areas are expected to take this
opportunity to discuss and express their views on the current trends,
challenges, and state of the art solutions addressing various issues in
wireless networks. This special issue solicits papers from two main
categories: (1) papers that consider the data collection, transmission,
storage, publishing, and sharing in wireless networks broadly defined, e.g.,
MANET, satellite, cellular, vehicular, ad hoc, cognitive, as well as sensor
networks, and (2) papers that use data and network analytics techniques to
address network control problems in wireless networks.
The list of topics includes, but not limited to,
・ Data analysis for wireless network traffic control
・ Addressing and location management
・ Capacity planning
・ Content distribution
・ Cross layer design and optimization
・ Implementation and experimental test-beds
・ Topology characterization and inference
・ Resource allocation and management
・ Traffic engineering and control
・ Clustering, coverage and connectivity
・ Data transport and management
・ Data gathering, fusion and dissemination
・ Security Control
・ Satellite Networking
・ Cellular Networking
