Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Wireless Networks and Systems"

Wireless and satellite technology offers many advantages with respect to
cable networks both concerning scalability, overcoming geographical
obstacles, covering isolated areas, application in hazardous environments.
In many cases, as well as in aerospace applications, the wireless choice is
a must. In other cases, wireless means resource optimization, as in the case
of Wireless LANs. Cable networks and the Internet are not sufficient to
support applications in some environments. People may require news on the
web in hazardous environments. Moreover, in the presence of infrastructure,
traffic bottlenecks of terrestrial networks and traditional links could make
the service highly inefficient, if not useful.

Therefore, there is increasing commercial interest to use wireless in modern
telecommunications systems such as local area services, interactivity and
possibility of building networks adapted to the different needs;
tele-learning; managing activity of the Public Administration; bank and
financial services; industrial activity located remotely; broadcasting and
backbone access; international connections; tele-medicine; data recovery;
video-surveillance; application in rural environments; applications for
vehicles, trains and planes; and tactical communications, among others.

Offering real services with a specific guarantee of Quality of Service (QoS)
over wireless systems (including WLAN, radio and satellite) is very
challenging as it implies the need to solve challenging research and
development issues due to the peculiarity of the application environment.

This issue of Computers and Electrical Engineering (C & EE) Journal is aimed
at soliciting recent original and previously unpublished research results
that deal with technological solutions, protocols, applications, performance
analysis of Wireless Networks, including WLANs, WMANs, radio networks, 3G
and beyond systems, military tactical and satellite networks. Papers are
solicited from all over the world including academia, industry, business,
and government. Topics of solicited original research papers include, but
not limited to:

"    Wireless and Mobile Internet
