                     Special Issue on
"QUALITY OF SERVICE IN HETEROGENEOUS WIRELESS NETWORKS"
        

"Anywhere, anytime, anymedia" has typically been the utopian objective
for  networking  researchers  in  the  past.  While,  the  significant
advances in  current day  communication technologies  are transforming
that utopia into  a reality, some challenges  still remain. Supporting
efficient  Quality of  Service (QoS)  in wireless  networks is  one of
them. Wireless  networks span a  wide variety of systems  ranging from
wireless  LANs,  and  PCS  systems,  to  satellite  networks,  ad  hoc
networks,  and 3G  and 4G  wireless networks.  Supporting QoS  in such
heterogeneous environments turns out to  be a challenging task because
of  the unique  characteristics of  wireless networks,  including user
mobility,  dynamic topologies,  unreliability of  wireless links,  and
scarcity of resources.

This special issue  focuses on new research contributions  in the area
of quality of  service in heterogeneous wireless  networks. We solicit
papers  with original  solutions  enabling QoS  in wireless  networks.
Topics  of interest  include (but  are not  limited to)  the following
areas in the context of wireless networks:

   o   Medium Access Control Protocols.
   o   Error Control Protocols.
   o   QoS Routing.
   o   Fault Tolerant Routing. 
   o   Dynamic Network Infrastructures.
   o   QoS and Power Efficiency.
   o   QoS in Mobile IP.
   o   Transport Protocols.
   o   Middleware Solutions for QoS.
   o   Network Architectures.
   o   Mobility Management.
   o   Performance Analysis Tools.
