The rapid adoption of the Internet and mobile/wireless technologies are paving
the way for high bandwidth to the mobile terminal. This will inevitably result
into multimedia-capable mobile Internet and the mobile information society much
sooner than any one can imagine. It is anticipated that the mobile hand-held
device will become the predominant user terminal. Towards meeting this goal, 3G
standards and related technologies have been developed which will help in early
deployment of such networks, interoperability among equipment from different
manufacturers, and significant cost reductions. At the same time major efforts
are underway to deliver all applications and services to the mobile user over a
packet switched IP network and do away completely with circuit switching and
the cellular infrastructure. Some have begun to term this next generation as
4G, combining multimedia-rich content, high bit-rate, and IP transport. A
Feature topic on All IP Wireless/Mobile Networks is planned that will focus on
technologies and standards that will allow IP-based applications and services
to run from one user terminal to the other. This involves work on all layers of
the protocol stack - from physical to applications layer - in all three
dimensions - user plane, control plane, and the management plane. Therefore,
this special issue solicits submissions in all those areas that will make this
all IP solution happen. Some of the topics, including but not limited to, are
as follows.
