Call for Papers International Journal of Communication Systems Special Issue on QoS Support and Service Differentiation in Wireless Networks Tentative Publication Date: April 2004 Full papers submission deadline: 01 Novermber 2003 Reviews due: 15 January 2004 Camera-ready copies due: 15 February 2004 Wireless access technology has created a new dimension for user access over the past few years. This has opened up a number of issues, one of which is QoS. The rapid adoption of wireless and IP based applications has created a strong driving force towards ubiquitous data services. A common understanding of the next generation of wireless systems that will offer such services is that they will involve multiple technologies and concepts that are still evolving. A major challenge in this heterogeneous environment is to provide proper QoS for mobile and stationary users using both customized and access agnostic applications and the need to analyze latency as a function of traffic profiles. The goal of this Special Issue is to collect high-quality scientific contributions discussing QoS strategies and tradeoffs at the Physical, Data Link, Network and Transport layers, for both already deployed as well as innovative/emerging wireless technologies. Papers reporting original, unpublished results on following topics are solicited: - Service differentiation and current enhancements in wireless LANs. - QoS management and capacity optimization in multi-access, multi-service networks. - Resource management for QoS-sensitive services. - Local versus end-to-end QoS provisioning, including QoS issues in mixed cellular/WLAN environment. - Software implementation and its robustness for QoS in wireless networks. - Performance models for multi-class wireless networks with emphasis on latency, throughput and goodput for various offered traffic profiles. - Architectures and Protocols for QoS provisioning in multi-access multi-service networks Submission Instructions Only electronic submissions are welcomed.

Special Issue on

QoS Support and Service Differentiation in Wireless Networks

Tentative Publication Date: April 2004
Full papers submission deadline: 01 Novermber 2003

Camera-ready copies due: 15 February 2004

Wireless access technology has created a new dimension for user access over the past few years. This has opened up a number of issues, one of which is QoS. The rapid adoption of wireless and IP based applications has created a strong driving force
towards ubiquitous data services. A common understanding of the next generation of wireless systems that will offer such services is that they will involve multiple technologies and concepts that are still evolving. A major challenge in this
heterogeneous environment is to provide proper QoS for mobile and stationary users using both customized and access agnostic applications and the need to analyze latency as a function of traffic profiles. The goal of this Special Issue is to collect
high-quality scientific contributions discussing QoS strategies and tradeoffs at the Physical, Data Link, Network and Transport layers, for both already deployed as well as innovative/emerging wireless technologies. Papers reporting original,
unpublished results on following topics are solicited:
-	Service differentiation and current enhancements in wireless LANs.
-	QoS management and capacity optimization in multi-access, multi-service networks.
-	Resource management for QoS-sensitive services.
-	Local versus end-to-end QoS provisioning, including QoS issues in mixed cellular/WLAN environment.
-	Software implementation and its robustness for QoS in wireless networks.
-	Performance models for multi-class wireless networks with emphasis on latency, throughput and goodput for various offered traffic profiles.
-	Architectures and Protocols for QoS provisioning in multi-access multi-service networks
