The issue of mobility is central in ad hoc networks and sets them apart from
wireless infrastructure networks and static sensor nets. Mobility affects
several layers from radio to applications. In this special issue we solicit
papers that deal with mobility in wireless ad-hoc networks. The topics
include but are not limited to the following:

- Impact of mobility on various protocols layers
- Performance of mobile ad hoc networks
- Mobility and scalability trade-offs
- Mobility models for ad hoc wireless networks
- Simulation of mobility in ad hoc networks
- Influence of mobility on protocol design
- Effect of mobility on protocol performance
- Exploiting mobility for protocol scalability
- Radio and antenna designs for mobility
- Antenna Diversity and mobility
- Mobility and MAC layer
- Mobility and network layer
- Mobility and transport layer
- Cross layer interaction to handle mobility
- Mobile ad hoc network applications
- Mobile ad hoc net measurements
