CALL FOR PAPERS
*Computer Networks Special Issue on “5G Wireless Networks for IoT and Body Sensors”* http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for- papers/special-issue-on-5g-wireless-networks-for-iot-and-body-senso
*# Description of the Special Issue*
Emerging technologies such as 5G wireless networks, Internet of Things (IoT), and body sensors have been receiving a lot of attention from designers, application developers, and researchers in both academia and industry recently. However, to reap the full benefits of each of the aforementioned technologies when they are seamlessly integrated together, many networking, device, protocol, and interoperability challenges need to be addressed.
In this special issue, we intend to broadly cover various aspects of IoT and body sensor communication in 5G networks. The purpose of this special issue is to publish state-of-the-art research results achieved by researchers and practitioners working in the area of IoT and body sensors in the 5G networking environment. We encourage submissions that describe original and unpublished work with respect to novel scalable, cost-effective, robust techniques and frameworks that can efficiently support future IoT and body sensor communications for the next generation of mobile communication.
*# Topics of Interest*
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- 5G Wireless Networks for the Internet of Things
- 5G Wireless Networks for body sensors
- E-Health and mobile health over 5G networks
- Network device discovery in 5G Wireless Networks for IoT and body sensors
- Channel modulation (using PHY/MAC/IP layer) and spectrum utilization
techniques in 5G networks
- Resource (network, relay, etc.) management in 5G Wireless Networks for
IoT and body sensors
- Energy efficient network design and protocols for IoT and body sensor
communication in 5G
- QoE/QoS for IoT and body sensor communication over 5G
- Cloud Computing for IoT and body sensor operating over 5G Wireless
Networks
- Performance evaluation studies for IoT and body sensor communication in
5G Wireless Networks
- Network and protocol interoperability for IoT and body sensors in 5G
Wireless Networks
*# Submission Details*
All received submissions within the scope of this special issue will be sent out for blind peer review by three experts in the field and will be evaluated based on their relevance for this special issue, level of novelty, depth of contribution, and overall quality. Submitted articles must be original, unpublished, and not currently under review by other journals. If a preliminary version of the paper was published in conference proceedings, the authors must clearly state this during the submission and the submitted manuscript must be a substantial extension (by at least 40%) of the previously published conference paper. In this case, the authors are also required to clearly explain the enhancements made in the journal version. Submitted articles must be written clearly, in good English, and should not exceed 20 pages (double-spaced).
Authors should follow the Computer Networks manuscript format which can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1 286/guide-for-authors. Manuscripts should be submitted online through the Elsevier Editorial System *http://ees.elsevier.com/comnet/ http://ees.elsevier.com/comnet/* and authors should select “*5G-IoT and Body Sensors*” as the article type for submission.
*# Important Dates*
*Paper Submission Due: December 15, 2016* First Round Notification: February 1, 2017 Revised Paper Submission: March 15, 2017 Second Round Notification: May 1, 2017 Final Papers Due: June 1, 2017 Publication Target Date: 3rd Quarter 2017
