CALL FOR PAPERS
IET Communications
Special Issue on Energy Aware Wireless Network Protocols
--New Submission Deadline: October 31--
In today?s world, wireless systems have become an essential tool and
provide solutions in everyday personal and business situations in an
easy and cost-effective manner. Wireless networking affects a number of
fields, including healthcare, environmental, home appliances, education,
military applications, among others. In general, designing, developing
and testing of an efficient wireless network protocol is a great
challenge for the researchers in these areas. Moreover, the development
of an application specific protocol in any of these fields depends on
various factors including the security, miniaturization, application
constraints, hardware constraints, and energy requirements.
The traditional trend in wireless network protocol design and
development is towards maximization of the performance observed by the
end-user, in terms of perceived throughput, delay, QoS, etc.
Nevertheless, the rate of advances in battery technology continues to
lag behind that of semiconductor technology, which is still well
predicted by the celebrated Moore?s law. This imbalance in the rate of
advances creates a gap between the energy a wireless network needs to
operate and the battery capacity that powers its nodes. Hence, the
requirement of Energy-Efficiency appears as an extremely important
property of new protocols for wireless networks with battery-powered
mobile nodes. Moreover, Energy-Efficiency is the tool to realize the
vision of green wireless networks, which are deemed important these days
due to the increasing share of wireless systems of the total energy
expended in communications and networking systems. Energy-awareness
contributes to achieving the task of energy-efficiency, as it provides
the ability to networking protocols to adapt their operation according
to the energy reserves of the network nodes and thus increase the
energy-efficiency of a system.
The objective of this special issue is to report state-of-the art
results in energy-aware wireless networking protocols by welcoming
contributions originating from both academic and industrial research.
These should be original contributions solicited in relevant areas of
energy-efficient wireless networking protocols. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to, the following list:
? Energy-cognizant protocol design and network architectures
? Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms
? Energy-efficient MAC protocols
? Energy-efficient routing protocols
? Energy-efficient transport protocols
? Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols
? Energy-efficient communication protocols
? Adaptive energy efficient protocols.
? Energy efficiency in protocols for wireless sensor networks.
? Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions
? Innovative power control techniques.
? Energy-efficient applications for wireless networks.
? Novel applications of energy efficient wireless networking protocols
