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
