LOCATION-AWARENESS FOR RADIOS AND NETWORKS
http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Journals/jsac/cfp/cfp_Localization....
Location-awareness using radio signals stands to revolutionize the fields of navigation and communication engineering. It can be utilized to great effect in the next generation of cellular networks, mining applications, health-care monitoring, transportation and intelligent highways, multi-robot applications, first responders operations, military applications, factory automation, building and environmental controls, cognitive wireless networks, commercial and social network applications, and smart spaces. A multitude of technologies can be utilized in location-aware radios and networks, including global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), RFID, cellular, UWB, WLAN, Bluetooth, cooperative localization, indoor GPS, device-free localization, IR, Radar, and UHF. The performances of these technologies are measured by their accuracy, precision, complexity, robustness, scalability, and cost. Given the many application scenarios across different disciplines, there is a clear need for a broad, up-to-date and cogent treatment of radio-based location awareness.
This special issue will bring together the latest research, innovations, and applications of location-awareness for radios and networks. Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit their original manuscript on topics including, but not limited to:
- Simultaneous localization and mapping techniques - Algorithms for GNSS, assisted GNSS, augmented GNSS, and pseudolites - Indoor location-aware networks (Bluetooth, Zigbee, WLAN, UWB localization) - Positioning using opportunistic signals (3GPP/LTE, 802.11x, digital TV) - Radio-based tomography, device-free localization, and through-the-wall sensing - Security and privacy aspects of positioning - Distributed, peer-to-peer, and collaborative localization and tracking - Fundamental limits and bounds on position estimation - Heterogeneous sensor fusion and hybridization algorithms for positioning - Signal design, signal detection, and parameter estimation for positioning - Testbeds, measurement campaigns, channel modeling, and experimentation - Positioning for autonomous systems (robots, planes, cars) - Interference cancelation, avoidance, and reduction techniques in the localization process - Location information for resource planning of radio and networks - Special topics on localization and tracking (cooperative localization, optimization, networked-based localization and mapping in general sensor networks, sparsity-exploiting sensing and decision)
Prospective authors should submit their manuscripts following the IEEE JSAC format at http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to http://www.edas.info, according to the following schedule:
Initial manuscript submission: August 1, 2014 First reviews complete: November 1, 2014 Second reviews complete: January 1, 2015 Final manuscript submission: February 2, 2014 Publication date: 2nd quarter, 2015
