Call for Papers    International Journal of Communication Systems


Special Issue on


"QoS Support and Service Differentiation in Wireless Networks"


 

Tentative Publication Date: April 2004                         Full papers
submission deadline: 15 October 2003


Reviews due: 15 January 2004                        Camera-ready copies due:
15 February 2004


 

Wireless access technology has created a new dimension for user access over
the past few years. This has opened up a number of issues, one of which is
QoS. The rapid adoption of wireless and IP based applications has created a
strong driving force towards ubiquitous data services. A common understanding
of the next generation of wireless systems that will offer such services is
that they will involve multiple technologies and concepts that are still
evolving. A major challenge in this heterogeneous environment is to provide
proper QoS for mobile and stationary users using both customized and access
agnostic applications and the need to analyze latency as a function of
traffic profiles. The goal of this Special Issue is to collect high-quality
scientific contributions discussing QoS strategies and tradeoffs at the
Physical, Data Link, Network and Transport layers, for both already deployed
as well as innovative/emerging wireless technologies. Papers reporting
original, unpublished results on following topics are solicited:

-          Service differentiation and current enhancements in wireless LANs.

-          QoS management and capacity optimization in multi-access,
multi-service networks.

-          Resource management for QoS-sensitive services.

-          Local versus end-to-end QoS provisioning, including QoS issues in
mixed cellular/WLAN environment.

-          Software implementation and its robustness for QoS in wireless
networks.

-          Performance models for multi-class wireless networks with emphasis
on latency, throughput and goodput for various offered traffic profiles.

-          Architectures and Protocols for QoS provisioning in multi-access
multi-service networks
