CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers

Remote control, media streaming, and interactive multimedia applications are becoming increasingly prevalent uses of the Internet and cellular networks. Because these applications require high rate and low latency, they are not well matched to best effort statistically multiplexed network architectures. In order to efficiently and reliably deliver such low latency high rate services, it is necessary to understand the fundamental and practical tradeoffs between rate and delay for network communication.

This special issue solicits original research utilizing a broad spectrum of technical approaches to manage rate and delay at the application and transport layers, including i) information theoretic limits, ii) the design of source and network coding schemes, iii) queueing theoretic models and network control, and iv) protocol design, implementation, and performance evaluation. Information theoretic approaches may involve error exponent and/or unequal erasure protection schemes as well as new theoretical analyses of multiresolution and multiple description source coding. Coding approaches to the problem include the use of fountain codes, practical multiple description source code design, delay aware network coding, and hybrid network coding ARQ schemes. Network control approaches may incorporate the queueing theoretic and/or network utility maximization paradigms. Solutions that focus on architectural (e.g., DiffServ and IntServ) and protocol (e.g., RTMP) design as well as practical deployment issues are also encouraged.

Approaches which focus on the relationship between rate and delay over a single link are explicitly excluded from the scope, as the issue will focus on end to end multi-link and overlay approaches.

Relevant tools and techniques include:

*Network coding *Overlay networks *Queueing based performance analysis *Controlled queues *Fountain codes *Multi-resolution and multiple description source codes *Error exponents *Network utility maximization *Multiclass architectures (e.g., DiffServ, IntServ) *Multimedia protocol solutions (e.g., RTMP) *Streaming and live streaming multimedia/data *Multicast *P2P streaming and live streaming *TCP-friendly approaches

All submissions should be prepared in a manner consistent with the JSAC guidelines available at www.jsac.ucsd.edu/guidelines/info.html, and should be submitted via email to rdTradeSpecIss@gmail.com.

Submission deadline: July 1, 2010 Acceptance notification: November 1, 2010 Final manuscript due to COMSOC: January 1, 2011 Publication: 2nd quarter 2011
