Special Issue on ?Convergence of Heterogeneous Wireless Systems in
Future Internet?
Future Internet envisions the synergy among heterogeneous wireless
communications will co-exist providing the end user the ?flexibility and
choice?, to improve his/her quality of life. The integration of
heterogeneous networks in multiaccess and multi-operator environment is
revolutionizing the ICT area, introducing new opportunities, better
communication channels and an enhanced quality of provided applications
and services. In this environment, a user is able to connect to a number
of heterogeneous RATs (Radio Access Technologies), either covering the
same, or complementing geographical areas. These networks can be
macro-cellular, WLANs, femto-cellular or even ad-hoc. In this
environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences,
enabling mobile users to be ?Always Best Connected? (ABC) so that
Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained.
Topics of interest:
The proposed Special Issue will report the results of latest research
efforts on convergence among heterogeneous wireless systems in Future
Internet. We solicit papers that cover a variety of topics including,
but not limited to:
- Wireless Network Architectures
- Middleware for Wireless Converged Networks.
- Wireless Convergence in Future Internet Initiatives (e.g. FIRE, GENI)
- IP-based Mobility Management
- Efficient Handover Algorithms & RRM in heterogeneous wireless networks
- Cross-Layer Schemes
- Modeling, performance evaluation, simulation & optimization techniques
- Wireless network testbeds and applications
- QoE in wireless converged networks
