Wireless Personal Communications Journal (Springer) - Special Issue on “Convergence of Heterogeneous Wireless Systems in Future Internet”
Future Internet envisions the synergy among heterogeneous wireless communications will co-exist providing the end user the “flexibility and choice”, to improve his/her quality of life. The integration of heterogeneous networks in multiaccess and multi-operator environment is revolutionizing the ICT area, introducing new opportunities, better communication channels and an enhanced quality of provided applications and services. In this environment, a user is able to connect to a number of heterogeneous RATs (Radio Access Technologies), either covering the same, or complementing geographical areas. These networks can be macro-cellular, WLANs, femto-cellular or even ad-hoc. In this environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences, enabling mobile users to be “Always Best Connected” (ABC) so that Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained.
Topics of interest: The proposed Special Issue will report the results of latest research efforts on convergence among heterogeneous wireless systems in Future Internet. We solicit papers that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to: Wireless Network Architectures Middleware for Wireless Converged Networks. Wireless Convergence in Future Internet Initiatives (e.g. FIRE, GENI etc) IP-based Mobility Management Efficient Handover Algorithms and RRM in heterogeneous wireless networks Cross-Layer Schemes Modeling, performance evaluation, simulation, and optimization techniques Wireless network testbeds and applications QoE in wireless converged networks
