MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS (MANETs): Standards, Research, Applications

   General
   Wireless, multihop networks (known as ad hoc networks) are emerging as
   a new promising field in wireless communications. An ad hoc network
   consists of nodes which organize themselves into a network by means of
   distributed algorithms. Thus, in a wireless ad hoc network there is no
   need for pre existing infrastructure and centralized control, allowing
   ad hoc networks to be quickly deployed. This distributed nature of ad
   hoc networks, however, demands sophisticated protocols, in order to
   cope with the constantly shifting topology of the network.
   Furthermore, these networks are energy and bandwidth constrained.
   Challenges to be resolved before MANETs can be widely deployed are,
   among others, the mobility of network nodes, access performance,
   clustering techniques etc
   
   Scope
   With this special issue we intend to cover topics on the design,
   modeling, performance, standardization efforts and field tests
   concerning MANETs. We are seeking for both tutorial and research
   papers, original, unpublished and not currently under review by
   another conference or journal. Specific areas of interest include but
   are not limited to:
   
   - Network architectures and protocols
   - Power efficient techniques
   - Access techniques
   - Routing and multicasting
   - Transport protocols
   - Clustering
   - Qos in MANETs
   - Bluetooth, Hiperlan and other standardization efforts
   - Implementation and testbed results
   - Interoperation with cellular networks/Internet etc
   - Performance Evaluation/Comparison with other techniques (wmATM etc)
   - Sensor networks
