The exponential growth of portable wireless devices (ranging from cellular
phones to handheld game consoles, from personal digital assistant and
personal navigation devices to still and video cameras) has spurred the
necessity to build effective lightweight wireless systems, thus resulting
into an unprecedented demand for lightweight, wireless communication devices
featuring high usability, performance, and support for added-value services
in highly mobile environments. Besides the attractive business
opportunities, lightweight wireless systems clearly require significant
upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructures,
algorithms at all levels of the protocol stack (from Physical Layer to
Application Layer), devices, and services so as to support the anytime,
anywhere, any device philosophy in future communication systems. At the PHY
layer, lightweight communications encompass effective algorithms for power
saving in distributed data processing, efficient signal processing
algorithms guaranteeing low power consumptions as well as limited size
constraints, and channel coding and decoding schemes yielding optimal
error-rate performance at the highest possible data rate coupled with
efficient iterative decoding algorithms, to cite a few. The purpose of this
special issue is to publish high quality research papers addressing recent
advances on enabling technologies for mobile lightweight wireless systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following subject
categories:
* PHY and MAC techniques enabling wireless lightweight devices, including
lightweight security mechanisms
* Wireless lightweight device networking, including routing and cross-layer
algorithms for mobile lightweight wireless systems
* Cognitive radio algorithms for lightweight systems allowing for
computationally efficient resource allocation and spectrum management
solutions (e.g., bio-inspired processing)
* Multimedia and vehicular communications for weight-constrained terminals
* Wireless lightweight testbeds
* Available and emerging solutions for lightweight systems
