[Tccc] EURASIPS-JWCN Special Issue on Fairness in RRM
by Zhu Han 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, Special Issue on Fairness in Radio Resource Management for Wireless Networks. Call for Papers (http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/si/fair-rrm.html) Radio resource management (RRM) techniques (such as admission control, scheduling, sub-carrier allocation, channel assignment, power allocation, and rate control) are essential for maximizing the resource utilization and providing quality of service (QoS) in wireless networks. In many cases, the performance metrics (e.g., overall throughput) can be optimized if opportunistic algorithms are employed. However, opportunistic RRM techniques always favor advantaged users who have good channel conditions and/or low interference levels. The problem becomes even worse when the wireless terminals have low mobility since the channel conditions become slowly varying (or even static), which might lead to long-term unfairness. The problem of fair resource allocation is more challenging in multihop wireless networks (e.g., mesh and multihop cellular networks). The performance fairness can be introduced as one of the QoS requirements (e.g., as a condition on the minimum throughput per user). Fair RRM schemes might penalize advantaged users; hence, there should be a tradeoﬀ between the overall system performance and the fairness requirements. We are soliciting high-quality unpublished research papers addressing the problem of fairness of RRM techniques in wireless communication systems. Topics include (but are not limited to): ò Fairness of scheduling schemes in wireless networks ò Tradeoﬀ between maximizing the overall throughput and achieving throughput fairness ò RRM fairness: problem definition and solution techniques ò Fairness performance in emerging wireless systems (WiMAX, ad hoc networks, mesh networks, etc.) ò Cross-layer RRM design with fairness ò Short-term and long-term fairness requirements ò Adaptive RRM to support fairness ò Fairness in cooperative wireless communications ò Issues and approaches for achieving fairness in multihop wireless networks ò RRM framework and QoS architecture ò Complexity and scalability issues ò Experimental and implementation results and issues ò Fairness in multiple-antenna transmission/reception systems ò Fairness in end-to-end QoS provisioning Authors should follow the EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking manuscript format described at the journal site http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/, according to the following timetable: Manuscript Due July 1, 2008 First Round of Reviews October 1, 2008 Publication Date January 1, 2009 Guest Editors Mohamed Hossam Ahmed, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. JohnÆs, NF, Canada A1B 3V6; mhahmed(a)engr.mun.ca Alagan Anpalagan, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ryerson University, Toronto, ON, Canada M5G 2C5; alagan(a)ee.ryerson.ca Kwang-Cheng Chen, Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan; chenkc(a)cc.ee.ntu.edu.tw Zhu Han, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, College of Engineering, Boise State University Boise, Idaho, USA; zhuhan(a)boisestate.edu EkramHossain, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Manitoba,Winnipeg, MB, Canada R3T 2N2; ekram(a)ee.umanitoba.ca _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Meanwhile, recent advances in digital communications have paved the way to a variety of standards aimed at providing multimedia services over terrestrial broadband networks. To cite but a few, DVB-H, T-DVB, T-DMB, wireless LANs, and wireless MANs are some of the most recent standards enabling such technology. Iterative decoding techniques for both source, channel, and joint source-channel coding and decoding and cross-layering techniques have proven to be very effective for providing a viable means of achieving capacity-approaching performance at very reduced computational burden. The main aim of this special issue is to highlight state-of-the-art techniques on the most recent research advances enabling digital multimedia services over broadband wireless networks, focused on physical and cross-layering solutions. Novel contributions, previously unpublished, that are not being submitted to any other journal, are sought. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following subject categories: Iterative decoding techniques for concatenated channel codes (turbo codes and serially concatenated codes) Iterative decoding techniques for joint source-channel decoding Novel capacity-approaching channel codes: coding strategies and efficient decoding algorithms Cross-layer modelling/analysis and optimization techniques Standardization activities on digital multimedia broadcasting protocols Space-time coding and decoding Novel MIMO solutions for counteracting multipath mobile channels Channel estimation and equalization Improved channel equalization techniques for SIMO and MIMO systems Experimental testbeds Hardware Implementation and SoC solutions Authors should follow the International Journal of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting manuscript format described at the journal site http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdmb Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com according to the following timetable: Manuscript Due: April 1, 2008 First Round of Reviews: July 1, 2008 Publication Date: November 1, 2008 _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br http://grid.lrg.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues
