Wireless networks (WNs) in ad hoc mode have so far been comprehensively studied 
in terms of communication protocols. Despite the achievements accomplished in 
the research community, application-oriented WN tests and implementation are 
more desirable for helping to realise adaptive ubiquitous services.

The wide variety of possible applications results in vastly varying 
requirements and characteristics, and raises a number of critical issues to be 
addressed during the design of WN protocols. In recent years, to meet the 
general trend towards diversification, new medium access control, routing, 
power management and data gathering protocols have been designed specifically 
for emerging WN applications. However, much more work is required in the 
optimisation of different network parameters to address the realistic 
requirements and constraints of the target domain.

Therefore, application-specific goals must be considered in protocol stack 
development to reconcile their requirements. Until there are more widespread 
and longer-term deployments of applications using ad hoc WNs, the performance 
requirements and resulting cost/performance tradeoffs will not be well 
understood.

This special issue will present a collection of articles discussing advances in 
wireless protocol design from the application and services perspective.


Suitable topics include but are not limited to:

 Case studies on the use of wireless ad hoc networks
 Wireless networks for harsh environments
 Underwater wireless communication and networks
 Case studies on physical channel properties affecting performance
 Application-oriented medium access control protocols/algorithms
 Application-oriented routing protocols/algorithms
 Application-oriented transport layer protocols/algorithms
 Application-oriented cross-layer protocols/algorithms
 Application-oriented security protocols/algorithms
 Deployment and scalability of wireless sensor networks
 Energy-efficient wireless networking protocols
 Test-bed, prototype and practical system design
 Simulation tools for wireless networking solutions
 Comparative studies of communication protocols in application-specific 
scenarios
 Performance evaluation of IEEE 802.11/802.15/802.16/802.20/802.22 series 
standards
