*CALL FOR PAPERS*
*SPECIAL ISSUE ON:
Optimization for heterogeneous wireless networks integrating cellular
and ad-hoc networks*
*Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing - Hindawi-Wiley open
access journal*
*Important DATES
*Submission Deadline Friday, 27 October 2017
*Publication Date March 2018
*TOPIC SUMMARY*
In our networked society, wireless devices will constantly interact with
each other as well as with their environment, communicating over
licensed and unlicensed frequency bands, employing any possible link,
from short-range device-to-device communications integrated into the
existing and evolving cellular infrastructure to satellite
communications. The efficient and effective management of these
heterogeneous network architectures requires new optimization
approaches, including central and distributed optimization schemes, or a
combination thereof, where optimization can have very different
objectives, including spectral efficiency, latency, reliability, energy
efficiency meeting constraints on the available spectrum, backhaul
network capacity, and deployment or operational costs.
In this special issue we solicit contributions on optimization-based
approaches to the design, dimensioning, deployment and operation of
heterogeneous wireless networks integrating cellular and ad-hoc
networks, using low and high frequencies, including traditional cellular
and millimeter wave bands. The topics addressed may include, but are not
limited to:
• Exact and heuristic optimization approaches for the dimensioning,
deployment, and efficient management of heterogeneous networks;
• Optimization techniques for cellular and heterogeneous networks in
decentralized scenarios;
• Multi-objective optimization approaches for heterogeneous networks;
• Cooperative and non-cooperative game theoretic analysis of cellular
and ad-hoc networks,
• Optimal spectrum allocation algorithms for cellular systems with
multiple-antenna terminals;
• Optimal spectrum sharing between multi-operator cellular and ad-hoc
networks;
• Radio resource optimization for shared terrestrial and satellite
networks;
• Optimal interference management for full-duplex and cognitive radio in
LTE networks;
• Optimal resource sharing between cellular and ad-hoc networks for
ultra-reliable low-latency communications.

Network models provide insights to tackle a variety of problems in such
diverse areas as production, logistics, routing, location, among others.
Network structures are largely present in many industrial and service
contexts like supply chain, transportation, communication and natural
systems. In spite of the fundamental developments achieved since the
early days of Operations Research, the community still faces many
challenges in the field, ranging from modeling paradigms for hard
problems to the design and experimental evaluation of efficient methods
and algorithms. In view of its importance and applicability, this
special issue of Pesquisa Operacional aims to invite researchers to
submit unpublished original works, reviews, or case-studies in the
domain of optimization in networks. Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Network design, Network flows;
* Optimal trees;
* Queuing networks;
* Vehicle routing, Arc-routing;
* Inventory-routing, E-services and smart cities;
* Stochastic and Nonlinear models in network optimization;
* Network equilibrium models;
* Vehicular networks;
* Complex networks, Social networking, crowdsourcing;
* Communication networks. Energy efficient network;
* Network reliability and resilience.
Contributions may cover exact methods, relaxation and lower bound
schemes, approximate methods, heuristics and metaheuristics, hybrids
methods, and integrated models arising from real-world situations as well.
