-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM Springer MONET Journal - Special Issue on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media Datum: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 09:25:25 +0200 Von: Christos Verikoukis <cveri(a)cttc.es> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Dear colleagues, Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. **************************************************************************** ************ CFP: ACM Springer MONET Journal - Special Issue on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media **************************************************************************** ************ The promise of a truly pervasive experience is to have the freedom to roam around anywhere and not be bound to a single location. However, the energy required to keep mobile devices connected to the network over extended periods of time quickly dissipates. In fact energy is a critical resource in the design of wireless networks, since wireless devices are usually powered by batteries and power consumption represents a major component of the operator´s network operational cost. There is added momentum for green radio to globally reduce the electromagnetic radiation levels to have a better coexistence of wireless system (less interference) as well as a reduced human exposure to radiation leading to the so called Green Wireless technologies. Hence, there is a clear need for disruptive strategies to address all aspects of power efficiency from the user devices through to the core infrastructure of the network and how these devices and equipment interact with each other. This special issue envisions contributions including different aspects on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media. Some relevant topics include: * Energy Efficient Radio Resource Management and Routing * Cooperative Communications * Cognitive Networks * QoE Multimedia for Future Internet * P2P Multimedia for autonomic wireless infrastructures. * Network Coding * Internet of things * Cross-layer and cross-System optimization strategies for wireless multimedia * Short-Range Communications * Resource and Mobility Management in Cooperative Network. * Dynamic Resource Management and bandwidth assignment for multimedia in heterogeneous wireless networks. * IMS for multimedia services in next generation networks. * 3D Video Coding * Context-aware networks and network-aware content Guest Editors Jonathan Rodriguez, Inst.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on Advances in Cooperative Wireless Networking Datum: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 01:17:27 -0500 Von: Xi Zhang <xizhang(a)mail.ece.tamu.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (We apologize if your receive multiple copies of this email) Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative Wireless Networking Over the last few years, fundamental research has demonstrated the great potential of cooperative wireless networking in increasing the system capacity and enlarging the coverage area as well as enhancing the quality-of-service (QoS) by taking advantage of the cooperative diversity and multiplexing. Consequently, cooperative wireless networking has become one of the widely recognized features for the future wireless communication systems. While the conventional research mainly focused on relatively simple cooperative relay topologies or on the cooperation schemes under the existing infrastructure networks, cooperative networking for the future wireless systems has its unique spectrum of features. Specifically, the frequent user cooperation and interaction empower the mobile users with a new role as the mobile-service providers, comparing with their traditional role as only the consumers. In this sense, mobile users' cooperation strategy and decisions are sensitive to not only the QoS requirements of the end users' applications but also their own benefits as rewards for providing the mobile-services. Moreover, the cooperation provided by mobile users does not have to rely heavily on the infrastructure networks. Towards these unique features, many challenges are imposed in cooperative communications for future wireless networks. First, physical-layer signals are required to be capable of achieving cooperative diversity and multiplexing gain across multiple coexisting multi-hop cooperation links. Second, the user cooperation highly depends on the positions of mobile users, which vary frequently and are hard to control by the infrastructure networks. Thus, to gain significant performance improvement through cooperation, distributed medium access control and routing protocols are expected to play the vital role in the fast cooperative-network reconfiguration. Third, since mobile users serve as both service providers and consumers, wireless-resource competition/negotiation strategies among cooperative users and the infrastructure networks become the extremely important issues. Fourth, the user cooperations at different protocol layers have diverse features and challenges, which motivate cross-layer design to develop optimized cooperation schemes. Fifth, given the frequent data exchanging, forwarding, and relaying among mobile users, the trust management and related problems need to be thoroughly studied for secure cooperation with protection of mobile users' privacy. Finally, due to the limited spectrum resources, the combination of user cooperation and the cognitive radio technologies is promising to further achieve significant performance gains. The topic on cooperative networking has attracted intensive attentions from researchers in not only academia, but also industry. Inspired by the attractive features and potential benefit from cooperative networking, industry has made significant efforts on the implementation of cooperative networks. Cooperative relay has been proposed in the 802.16j MMR (Mobile Multi-hop Relay) standard. Also, many coordinated multi-cell space-frequency coding have been suggested in the standardization bodies such as 3GPP LTE. Despite the large amount of research work proposed in recent years, the aforementioned issues for cooperative networking towards future wireless systems still remain open problems. We plan this feature topic to address the urgent need in both industry and the research community to better understand the recent progress and potential research directions on cooperative networking. The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research in various aspects of cooperative wireless networking. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to the followings: * Distributed MIMO technologies for multi-link and multi-hop cooperative wireless transmissions; * QoS-driven resource allocation for multi-hop cooperative wireless networking; * Power-efficient MAC layer protocol for wireless cooperative relay networks; * Network layer protocol for self-configuration and routing in wireless cooperative relay networks; * Wireless cooperative network coding; * Trust mechanism for cooperation among mobile users; * Cross-layer design and optimization with QoS provisioning for cooperative wireless networking; * User-centric frameworks and solutions for QoS satisfactions in cooperative wireless networks; * Packet-level and signal-level cooperative wireless multicast; * Multi-hop user-cooperation protocol design in cognitive radio networks; * Cooperative game for resource competition/negotiation in wireless networks. Manuscript Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. References should be limited to 10, figures and tables to a combined total of 6 (mathematical equations should be avoided). Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words.
