CALL FOR PAPERS 
IEEE Communications Magazine 
Feature Topic on 

Quality of Service in IP and Wireless Networks 
 
The best-effort service in Internet delivery of data cannot be used for the new multimedia applications. New technologies and new 
standards are necessary to offer Quality of Service (QoS) for these multimedia applications. Therefore, new communication 
architectures integrate mechanisms allowing guaranteeing specific quality to services as well as high data rate for the 
communication systems. This feature topic issue of the IEEE Communications Magazine seeks to survey and present the research 
and engineering works currently ongoing in the field of QoS. 
Due to an overwhelming response to our call for papers for the December 2002 feature topic on "IP-Oriented QoS" we have 
decided to recall this important topic in a second issue. Quality of service must be seen as an end-to-end process. Assume for 
example that you want to establish a video conferencing over the Internet using the UMTS (the third generation Universal Mobile 
Telecommunication System) as the access network for your communications. At the two very end points of this communications 
process we have the end user terminals, for example a cellular phone at one end and a desktop computer connected to the wired 
Internet at the other end. The access technology here thus compromised of several systems: The local bearer service providing the 
service to the cellular phone user, the UMTS bearer service, and the external bearer service providing service to the desktop user. 
Without the support of the required QoS indicators (e.g., delay and bandwidth in our current example) by all segments of the 
network from end to end, we cannot claim that we have a QoS support. UMTS has its own share in providing the QoS but the end 
point bearer services also need to support similar QoS indicators in order to complete the end-to-end process. Although it is 
possible to provide the QoS with different ways of support by the individual segments in the network, it will be much more 
efficient and reliable to provide QoS with close inter-relation between the individual segments. 
 
The focused tutorial and survey contributions as well as research papers are solicited on (but not restricted to) the following 
subject categories: 
 
·        QoS in heterogeneous networks 
·        QoS for wireless and mobile 
·        QoS in broadband access networks 
·        QoS in WAN 
·        QoS routing  
·        IP initiations for QoS 
·         Experiences with QoS 
·         Simulation models for QoS 
·         QoS and metrics 
·         Charging and pricing for QoS 
·         Platform support for QoS 
·         Standardization and QoS 
 
Submission  
Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style
comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.  Articles
may be edited for clarity and grammatical accuracy, and will be copyedited
according to the Magazine's style.  Mathematical equations should not be
used (in justified cases up to three simple equations could be allowed,
provided the consent of the Guest Editor; more than three equations require
permission from the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should have no more than
4,500 words, no more than 6 tables/figures, and no more than 15 references.
Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at

(preferred), Microsoft Word, or PostScript formatted papers to Abbas
Jamalipour <a.jamalipour@ieee.org> no later than October 1, 2003. Accepted
papers will also be included in Communications Interactive (CI), the online
version of Communications Magazine.
