Special Issue: Mobility Management in Future Internet

One of the key characteristics of the Future Internet is the synergy and interworking of existing and new wireless communication environments that will exhibit ubiquity and multi-access capabilities. The integration of heterogeneous networks is revolutionizing the ICT area, introducing new opportunities, better communication channels and an enhanced quality of provided applications and services. In this environment, a user is able to connect to a number of heterogeneous RATs (Radio Access Technologies), either covering the same, or complementing geographical areas. These networks can be macro-cellular, WLANs, femto-cellular or even ad-hoc. In this environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences, enabling mobile users to be "Always Best Connected" (ABC) so that Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained. Furthermore, communication security is required at both communication and service layer in order to reassure confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and maintain QoS of on-going sessions in a seamless manner.

This special issue will report the results of latest research efforts on mobility management in Future Internet. We solicit papers that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to:

- Network Architectures and Mobility

- Mobility in Future Internet Initiatives (e.g. FIRE, GENI etc)

- Standardisation fora evolution (IETF: HOKEY/SEAMOBY/PANA, IEEE: 802.21)

- IP-based Mobility Management

- Efficient Handover Algorithms

- Radio Resource Management in heterogeneous wireless networks

- Cross-Layer Schemes

- Privacy and Trust and AAA Management in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

- Roaming in Multi-access environment

- Modeling, performance evaluation, simulation, and optimization techniques

- Wireless network testbeds and applications

- Interactive media in ubiquitous environments

- Mobililty and Media Delivery
