Prior efforts on wireless networks, especially multi-hop ad hoc networks, have led to significant research contributions that range from fundamental results on theoretical capacity bounds to numerous practical routing and transport protocols. Unlike ad hoc networks, however, mesh networks can serve as access networks that employ multi-hop wireless forwarding by mesh nodes to relay traffic to and from the wired Internet. The unique features of wireless mesh networks pose challenges in designing affordable, reliable, and sustainable network infrastructures. The critical issues span a rich spectrum of issues from interference-aware channel assignment, multi-hop routing, to reliable transport and infrastructure optimization, many of which have to be revisited in this new context. The purpose of this special issue is to archive the state-of-the-art achievements in wireless mesh networking. We solicit original and unpublished research papers in both theoretical studies and practical protocol/architecture designs for wireless mesh networks, as well as prototypes. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical performance analysis - Network capacity and network coverage - Scalable power management and topology control - Cognitive radio-enabled wireless mesh networks - Multi-channel and multi-radio MAC protocols - Scalable and robust routing protocols - Reliable and adaptive transport protocols - Cross-layer design and optimization - New applications over wireless mesh networks - Secure communication protocols - Resource management and traffic control - Heterogeneous wireless mesh networks - Cooperative communication for mesh networks - Efficient transport design - Network operation and management - Mobility management - Testbeds and trial systems Publication Schedules: - Manuscript Due: June 1, 2007 - Acceptance Notification: Oct 15, 2007 - Final Manuscript Due: Dec 1, 2007 - Publication Date: second quarter in 2008 (expected) Submission Guidelines: Only original, unpublished research papers will be considered.

For broadband end-to-end mobile networking, the broadband wired networks (such as IP/MPLS with DWDM optical networks) will be converged with wireless networks (such as IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN, 802.16 Wireless MAN (WiBro, WiMax) and 3G/4G wireless cellular networks). Also, the IP-based telecommunication network will be converged with broadcast network to provide IP-based high-quality broadband multimedia broadcasting and multicasting. Several countries of strong Internet infrastructure are going to provide initial BcN commercial services soon. For efficient service provisioning on the broadband converged networks, well-designed and implemented network operations and management functions with traffic engineering are essential. ITU-T had been operating a special expert group called FGNGN (Focus Group on Next Generation Networks) to provide the architecture of NGN, and currently working on the network operations and management issues actively in Study Groups SG-13 and SG-11. IETF has some working groups on network operations and managements of IP/MPLS networks, but the operations and management for integrated networking with wired & wireless, telecommunication and broadcasting networks has not been actively covered yet. Following the successful “1st IEEE International Workshop on Broadband Convergence Networks (BcN2006)” (April 7, 2006, Vancouver, Canada, in conjunction with IEEE/IFIP NOMS2006), the goal of this workshop is to gather people with different backgrounds to share the current status of standardization and technology development of BcN, to discuss challenges and possible solutions in the broadband networking for QoS-guaranteed real-time multimedia services on BcN. Areas of interest include the architectures, applications, and management issues of BcN.Topics of interest for this workshop include, but not limited to, the following: - Architecture and Standardization - Applications and Service Provisioning - QoS Management, Traffic Engineering - Inter-domain Networking - QoS-guaranteed multimedia service provisioning across broadband wired & wireless networks - Converged networking issues for telecommunication and broadcasting - Broadband Access networking with hybrid fiber optic and wireless network - Security issues on the convergence networks - Accounting and Billing - Seamless service provisioning with roaming and handover - Regulatory Issues - Automated resource management and service provisioning - Signaling for Application Sessions and Networking - Virtual Networks and Operators *Paper Submission* Authors are requested to submit a paper up to 12 pages (single-spaced single-column pages).
