Call For Papers Feature Topic on Wireless Mesh Networks IEEE Communications Magazine http://www.comsoc.org/dl/commag/cfpcommag307.htm
Next generation communication networks are facing the challenge of providing adaptive, flexible, and reconfigurable architectures capable of catering to the dynamics of the network, while providing cost effective solutions for service providers. Wireless mesh networking (WMN) has emerged as a promising concept to meet such challenges of next generation networking. In WMN, no cabling is needed to connect the routers together. All routers self-organise and auto-configure themselves wirelessly, and form a rich radio mesh connectivity among themselves that is difficult to provision in wired networks. While wireless router connectivity significantly reduces the up-front deployment and subsequent maintenance costs, the rich mesh connectivity helps delivering high level of reliability and robustness. Due to these attractive features, WMN is being considered for a wide variety of application scenarios such as backhaul connectivity for cellular radio access networks, high-speed metropolitan area mobile networks, community networking, building automation, intelligent transport system networks, defence systems, and city-wide surveillance systems. Despite significant advances in the last few years, many challenging research issues, such as sharp drop in available throughput as the number of wireless hop increases, remains to be resolved. Industry, academia, and standard bodies are all actively working together on bringing this technology to its maturity.
The aim of this Feature Topic is to feature the recent advances in theory and application of wireless mesh network. Articles from both academia and industry are solicited. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
- Throughput enhancing techniques for paths with many wireless hops - Latency reduction techniques - Multipath routing in wireless mesh networks - Advanced antenna technologies - Manageability and interoperability issues - Self organization and network configuration - Test-bed design, experimental results, implementation and prototypes - Novel application and deployment scenarios - Standardisation activities (e.g. IEEE 802.11s) - Security architectures and protocols for wireless mesh networks - Mobile mesh networks
