CALL FOR PAPERS
             IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications 

                          ALL-IP WIRELESS NETWORKS

   IP  (Internet  Protocol),  which  is already a universal network-layer
   protocol  for  wireline  packet  networks,  is  becoming  a  promising
   universal   network-layer  protocol  over  all  wireless  systems.  IP
   provides  a  globally  successful open infrastructure for creating and
   providing  services  and applications. An all-IP wireless and wireline
   network  could  make wireless networks more robust, scalable, and cost
   effective.  It will also enable the abundant applications and software
   technologies  developed  for  IP  networks  to  be  used over wireless
   networks.  Today's  many different wireless systems, ranging from PANs
   (Personal  Area  Networks),  wireless  LANs  (Local  Area Networks) to
   wide-area  cellular  systems, are often not compatible with each other
   which  makes  it difficult for a user to roam from one radio system to
   another.  No wireless technology has emerged as a common and long-term
   universal  solution.  With IP as the common network layer protocol, an
   IP-based  mobile  device  (with  multiple radio interfaces or software
   defined radio) could roam between different wireless systems.

   The  papers  in  this issue will focus on state-of-the-art research in
   all-IP  wireless networks. Submission for Beyond 3G (B3G) systems will
   be included. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics including,
   but not limited to, the following topics:
     * Systems and Architecture
     * Access Protocols
     * Transport Protocols
     * Signaling Protocols
     * Resource Management
     * Power Control and Management
     * QoS Provisioning
     * Security
     * Mobile VoIP
     * Video over Wireless Internet
     * Network Performance Analysis
     * Internetworking
     * System Integration

   Only  original  and  unpublished  research  papers will be considered.
   Authors  should  follow  the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in
   the  Information  for  Authors. There will be one round of reviews and
   acceptance  will be limited to papers needing only moderate revisions.
   Prospective  authors  should  submit  a  pdf version of their complete
   manuscript  (which  should  be  compressed  if the file size exceeds 1
   Mbyte)   to   jsac@wire.cs.nthu.edu.tw   according  to  the  following
   timetable:

   Manuscript Submission:   FEBRUARY 1, 2003
   Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2003
   Final Manuscript Due:    September 1, 2003
   Publication:             1st Quarter 2004
