Wireless communication technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. The last few years have experienced a steep growth in research on wireless networks having attractive claims. Researchers are currently envisioning different attractive properties of wireless systems such as the ability to self- organize, self-configure, self-heal, self-manage and self-maintain. Different wireless networks having the potential to offer cost-effective home and enterprise access networking solutions are being researched. Technologies such as Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), WiFi, WiMax, Bluetooth, 802.20, 802.22 and software defined radio are gaining popularity. Even though these technologies hold great promises for our future, there are several challenges that need to be addressed. This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers relating to different emerging wireless network technologies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:  Broadband wireless access networks  Wireless Internet  Software defined radio  Bluetooth technology  Ultra-wide band radio  Emerging Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks  Wireless Mesh Networks  IEEE 802.11/802.20/802.22  Emerging wireless network security issues  Wireless telemedicine and e-health  Emerging issues in 3G and 4G wireless networks  Emerging wireless network architecture  Multimedia over emerging wireless networks  Underwater sensor Networks  Supplying power to the distributed wireless sensors  Very low-powered sensors  Cooperative wireless communications  Multi-hop relay wireless communications

Tutorial-type articles (but NOT a review of the literature) about the latest on an emerging wireless network topic (such as wireless sensors) are also of interest to this Special Issue.
