Dear Vivek and All
You
are cordially invited to submit a paper to this special issue.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Computer Systems, Networks, and Communications
Special issue on WiMAX, LTE and WiFi Interworking
Guest Editors: Rashid A. Saeed, Ahmed A. Mabrouk, Amitava Mukherjee, Francisco Falcone and K. Daniel Wong
Although
both WiMAX, LTE and WiFi provide wireless broadband connectivity, they
have been optimized for different usage models: WiFi for very
high-speed WLAN connectivity and WiMAX, LTE for high-speed Wireless WAN
(WWAN) connectivity. By combining WiMAX, LTE and WiFi technologies,
service providers can offer their subscribers a more complete suite of
broadband services in more places. The unique similarities between
WiMAX, LTE and WiFi networks that make the proposed synergy is
promising is these technologies are fully packet switching uses
IP-based technologies to provide connection services to the Internet.
This standards- and IP-based network approach provides compelling
benefits to service providers to collaborate between these
technologies.
This
special issue is intended to foster state-of-the-art research in the
area of WiMAX, WiBro, LTE and WiFi networking and the corresponding
technical advances in the design and deployment of feasible network
architectures and protocols and to present novel results and solutions
to solve various problems and challenges foreseen in WiMAX/LTE and WiFi
interworking. The special issue will cover the following topical areas
but are not limited to them:
- WiMAX, WiBro, MobileFi, LTE and WiFi communications systems
- Single/dual radio handover
- Network architecture alternatives for inter-working and integration
- Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
- Seamless vertical handover and session continuity.
- Multi-radio coexistence and power management
- Authentication, Authorization and Accounting
- Security issues
- Common charging and billing
- Quality of services (QoS)
- Interworking using IMS, SIP, MIH, VCC and UMA
- IEEE802.11u, IEEE802.16g/j/m/h
- Scenarios and usage cases
- WiMAX,WiBro, LTE and WiFi Interworking Testbed
- Hybrid wireless mesh network
- Applications, VOIP, video streaming, etc
- IP Mobile, roaming and mobility management
- Core network architecture
- Fixed-mobile convergence (FMC)
- PHY, MAC, IP and upper layers issues
