CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on Wireless Mesh Networks
Elsevier's Computer Communications Journal
http:/www.cs.iusb.edu/~liqzhang/comcom/wimesh.htm
Full papers due: August 31, 2007
************************************************************************ ****************
Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from academia,
industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics,
such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance,
high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated
as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and
ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking,
or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations
from more than a decade research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many research
issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the
introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio,
multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of
physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless
office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security
issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks.
The special issue seeks original and unpublished papers that address theoretical
and experimental work at all layers of wireless mesh networks. Papers are solicited
from, but are not limited to, the following topics:
Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking
MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond)
Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols
Topology construction and maintenance
Physical layer techniques
Cross layer optimizations
Testbed, prototype, and practical systems
Methods and tools for wireless mesh networks simulation
Modeling and performance evaluations for wireless mesh networks
Security-related issues in wireless mesh networks
Quality of Service and multimedia communications over wireless mesh networks
Intelligent system techniques for wireless mesh networks
Novel applications of wireless mesh networks
Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking
Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms
Self-organization, self-configuration network architectures
Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN
Wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
