CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications
ALL-IP WIRELESS NETWORKS
IP (Internet Protocol), which is already a universal network-layer
protocol for wireline packet networks, is becoming a promising
universal network-layer protocol over all wireless systems. IP
provides a globally successful open infrastructure for creating and
providing services and applications. An all-IP wireless and wireline
network could make wireless networks more robust, scalable, and cost
effective. It will also enable the abundant applications and software
technologies developed for IP networks to be used over wireless
networks. Today's many different wireless systems, ranging from PANs
(Personal Area Networks), wireless LANs (Local Area Networks) to
wide-area cellular systems, are often not compatible with each other
which makes it difficult for a user to roam from one radio system to
another. No wireless technology has emerged as a common and long-term
universal solution. With IP as the common network layer protocol, an
IP-based mobile device (with multiple radio interfaces or software
defined radio) could roam between different wireless systems.
The papers in this issue will focus on state-of-the-art research in
all-IP wireless networks. Submission for Beyond 3G (B3G) systems will
be included. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics including,
but not limited to, the following topics:
o Systems and Architecture
o Access Protocols
o Transport Protocols
o Signaling Protocols
o Resource Management
o Power Control and Management
o QoS Provisioning
o Security
o Mobile VoIP
o Video over Wireless Internet
o Network Performance Analysis
o Internetworking
o System Integration
Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered.
Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in
the Information for Authors on the inside back cover of any issue of
J-SAC. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be
limited to papers needing only moderate revisions. Prospective authors
should submit a pdf version of their complete manuscript (which should
be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 Mbyte) to
jsac@wire.cs.nthu.edu.tw according to the following timetable:
Manuscript Submission: FEBRUARY 1, 2003
Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2003
Final Manuscript Due: September 1, 2003
Publication: 1st Quarter 2004
