CALL FOR PAPERS

Wireless Personal Communications (Springer)

Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Mobile and Wireless Networks"

Mobile and wireless networks are enabling a myriad of services and applications. For example, wireless hotspots are so widely deployed that access to the Internet is almost ubiquitous; people can work and play via Internet access no matter whether they are sitting on a terrace, travelling on a train, or flying in a plane. The explosive growth of applications for the current and emerging user services poses a number of challenges to this critical infrastructure. It also presents opportunities for research and innovation to both the academia and industry, especially for the development of efficiency, scalability and reliability in mobile and wireless networks. These challenges motivate us to design and develop new protocols, architectures and services for future mobile and wireless networks. The goal of this special issue is to publish both state-of-the-art and prospective papers that present advances towards the performance enhancement of mobile and wireless networks. In this context, papers will discuss all aspects that have an impact on the performance as depicted in research activities from professionals, academics and researchers. This special issue will be partially composed of the extended versions of the quality papers presented at the Special Session on Recent Issues in Mobile and Wireless Networks, the 2014 Global Wireless Summit (GWS 2014) at http://gws2014.org/.
