MOBILE AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORKS*

* *

PUBLICATION DATE: DECEMBER 2004*

The Journal of Communications and Networks (JCN) will publish a Special Issue dedicated to leading-edge topics on Mobile Ad Hoc Wireless Networks. High-quality contributions are solicited by the Guest Editors:

*Prof. Mario Gerla, University of California, Los Angeles, USA, /gerla@cs.ucla.edu/*

*Prof. Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy, /chiasserini@polito.it/*

*Prof. Kenichi Mase, Niigata University, Niigata, Japan, /mase@ie.niigata-u.ac.jp/*

*Prof. Eytan Modiano, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA, /modiano@mit.edu/*

*Dr. Jason Redi, BBN Technologies, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, /redi@bbn.com/*

The issue of mobility is central in ad hoc networks and sets them apart from wireless infrastructure networks and static sensor nets. Mobility affects several layers from radio to applications. In this special issue we solicit papers that deal with mobility in wireless ad-hoc networks. The topics include but are not limited to the following:

ü Impact of mobility on various protocols layers

ü Performance of mobile ad hoc networks

ü Mobility and scalability trade-offs

ü Mobility models for ad hoc wireless networks

ü Simulation of mobility in ad hoc networks

ü Influence of mobility on protocol design

ü Effect of mobility on protocol performance

ü Exploiting mobility for protocol scalability

ü Radio and antenna designs for mobility

ü Antenna Diversity and mobility

ü Mobility and MAC layer

ü Mobility and network layer

ü Mobility and transport layer

ü Cross layer interaction to handle mobility

ü Mobile ad hoc network applications

ü Mobile ad hoc net measurements

Continuing JCN's tradition of fast turnaround together with full peer reviews, the following schedule has been set:

* **July 1, 2004** *Electronic manuscript (.ps or .pdf) submission to JCN website

[An earlier note to editors with intent to submit will be appreciated.]

*October 15, 2004** *First reviews returned to author

*December 15, 2004** *Special Issue published

Electronic submissions will be made to JCN website. Information about submissions is available on the JCN web site, *http://jcn.or.kr*. Please direct inquiries and intent to submit notifications to any one of the Guest Editors.

JCN is a high-quality quarterly archival journal, published by the Korean Institute of Communications Sciences with the technical co-sponsorship of the IEEE Communications Society, covering the fields of Communication Theory and Systems, Wireless Communications, and Networks and Services. JCN began publication in March 1999.
