Special Issue on Broadband Mobile Communications at Very High Speeds
Submission deadline:?February 15, 2012,?http://jwcn.eurasipjournals.com/
An important goal for future communication systems is to provide very
high-speed data transmission, even under super platform speed scenarios such
as high speed wheel-track trains (up to 574.8 km/h test speed or 380 km/h
commercial speed), maglev trains (up to 581 km/h test speed or 431 km/h
commercial speed), airplanes (about 400-1000km/h commercial speed), guided
missiles (about 980-20,000km/h) or spacecraft (at least 28,440 km/h to
remain on an earth orbit, at least 40,320 km/h to leave earth). A
particularly important commercial application is the strong worldwide
increasing demand for broadband wireless communications in high speed
railway to provide information and onboard entertainment services to
passengers, train control, train dispatch, train sensor status transmission,
video surveillance, etc. In such super high mobility scenarios, there exist
a number of communication challenges, i.e. fast handover, location update,
highspeed channel modeling, estimation and equalization, anti-Doppler spread
techniques, fast power control, dedicated network architectures, etc. Since
the signal transmission under very high speed scenarios will inevitably
experience serious degradation, it is imperative to develop effective
broadband mobile communication techniques for such very high speed vehicular
applications. The purpose of this special issue is to publish high quality,
original and previously published work in this field. The topics to be
covered include, but are not limited to:
- High-speed time-varying channel modeling, estimation and equalization
- Doppler shift/spread estimation and compensation
- Doppler diversity and anti-Doppler techniques
- Efficient modulation techniques employed in very high speed vehicles
- Fast power control
- Fast handover and group handover
- Fast location update
- Radio resource allocation
- Multiple access schemes for very high speed radio systems
- Distributed multi-antenna systems for very high speed radio systems
- Relay and cooperative communications (terrestrial and satellite based)
- High-speed vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)
radio systems
- Dedicated radio network architectures
