[Fwd: [tcgn] DEADLINE EXTENDED - CFP: J-SAC Special issue on ALL-IP WIRELESS NETWORKS]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] DEADLINE EXTENDED - CFP: J-SAC Special issue on ALL-IP WIRELESS NETWORKS Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 07:26:29 +0800 (CST) From: Jyh-Cheng Chen <jchen(a)mx.nthu.edu.tw> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org Due to numerous request, the submission deadline is extended to February 15, 2003. Please submit your full-paper online via http://wire.cs.nthu.edu.tw/~jsac ====================================================================== (We appologize if you received multiple copies of this Call.) CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications ALL-IP WIRELESS NETWORKS IP (Internet Protocol), which is already a universal network-layer protocol for wireline packet networks, is becoming a promising universal network-layer protocol over all wireless systems. IP provides a globally successful open infrastructure for creating and providing services and applications. An all-IP wireless and wireline network could make wireless networks more robust, scalable, and cost effective. It will also enable the abundant applications and software technologies developed for IP networks to be used over wireless networks. Today's many different wireless systems, ranging from PANs (Personal Area Networks), wireless LANs (Local Area Networks) to wide-area cellular systems, are often not compatible with each other which makes it difficult for a user to roam from one radio system to another. No wireless technology has emerged as a common and long-term universal solution. With IP as the common network layer protocol, an IP-based mobile device (with multiple radio interfaces or software defined radio) could roam between different wireless systems. The papers in this issue will focus on state-of-the-art research in all-IP wireless networks. Submission for Beyond 3G (B3G) systems will be included. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to, the following topics: o Systems and Architecture o Access Protocols o Transport Protocols o Signaling Protocols o Resource Management o Power Control and Management o QoS Provisioning o Security o Mobile VoIP o Video over Wireless Internet o Network Performance Analysis o Internetworking o System Integration Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered. Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors on the inside back cover of any issue of J-SAC. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers needing only moderate revisions. Prospective authors should submit a pdf version of their complete manuscript (which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 Mbyte) online via http://wire.cs.nthu.edu.tw/~jsac according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: FEBRUARY 15, 2003 Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2003 Final Manuscript Due: September 1, 2003 Publication: 1st Quarter 2004 Prathima Agrawal Telcordia Technologies Room 1J244B 445 South St Morristown, NJ 07960 USA Tao Zhang Telcordia Technologies Room 1J214B 445 South St Morristown, NJ 07960 USA Cormac J.
