IEEE Wireless Communications - ARCHITECTURE FOR NEXT GENERATION WIRELESS NETWORKS: SCALABILITY, FLEXIBILITY, AND INTEROPERABILITY http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/cfp/architecture-next-generation-wireless-...
CALL FOR PAPERS Over the past decade, we have witnessed the tremendous growth in the number of networked wireless devices, in the types of wireless and mobile applications, and in the total amount of traffic from and towards these devices. In the foreseeable future, it is expected that such a trend will continue with an unprecedented increasing rate. For instance, with the recent deployment of the fourth-generation (4G) cellular network, mobile data traffic rate over cellular networks had exceeded 2 Exabytes per month world-wide by the end of 2014. Recent studies also suggest that the mobile traffic rate could be increased 10-fold by 2019. Besides the ever-increasing mobile applications over cellular networks, many other wireless applications are emerging, including smart grid, vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), cyber-physical system (CPS), and more generally, Internet of Things (IoT). Clearly, to accommodate the fast growing demands, future wireless networks must be scalable. For the aforementioned existing and emerging wireless applications, it has been well-known that they have diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements: from low data rate IoT monitoring applications to high data rate content streaming applications, from delay sensitive real-time monitoring in smart grid and safety control in vehicular CPS to delay-tolerant IoT applications. Therefore, it has been very challenging to design and develop practical wireless networks and systems to facilitate different application demands efficiently. To address these challenges, researchers and developers in both academia and industry have put significant efforts to design various wireless networks. For example, in the past few years, the architecture of the fifth-generation (5G) cellular network has attracted significant attention, several future Internet architectures (FIAs) have also been proposed and investigated, and various architectures have been developed for smart grid, VANET, IoT, etc. Naturally, it becomes very important to investigate two issues: first, how we can flexibly deploy or configure a specific type of wireless network, and secondly, if we have multiple co-existing wireless networks, how we can enable the interoperation among them. In the literature, the importance of scalability, flexibility, and interoperability has been recognized and there are some existing studies already. However, despite the importance of these efforts, there are still many challenging issues to be addressed. For example, how to effectively accommodate more than 1 trillion networked devices world-wide in the next 10 years? How to efficiently provision services in future wireless networks such that a given system can be flexibly programmed to optimize the performance of certain applications? How to facilitate the interoperation of heterogeneous wireless networks and systems? To understand and solve these key issues, we organize this special issue in IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine focusing on the scalability, flexibility, and interoperability in the design of architecture for future wireless networks. The special issue covers topics that include, but are not limited to, the following: * Architecture for large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) * Flexible architecture for applications with diverse data rates * Flexible architecture for systems and applications with diverse mobility requirements * Flexible cognitive radio and spectrum access * Interoperability between future Internet and wireless networks * Interoperability among diverse wireless networks * Namespace management in heterogeneous wireless networks * Routing in large-scale multihop wireless network * Security design on wireless scalability, flexibility, and interoperability * Scalable cooperative communications and network coding * Scalable data-centric wireless network architecture * Scalable energy efficiency wireless network * Scalable social-aware wireless network architecture * Standards for scalable, flexible, and interoperable wireless networks * Wireless network for large-scale cyber-physical-system SUBMISSIONS Authors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communicationsguidelines regarding manuscript content and format.
