SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS - Special issue on Optimization for heterogeneous wireless networks - Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Journal
by Paolo Detti 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

*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. **GUEST EDITORS* * Paolo Detti, University of Siena, Siena, Italy Andrea Abrardo, University of Siena, Siena, Italy Gabor Fodor, Royal Institute of Technology, and Ericsson Research, Stockholm, Sweden Marco Moretti, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy Ana Pérez-Neira, Centre Tecnologic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya, Castelldefels, Spain Angela Yingjun Zhang, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, People's Republic of China *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* The Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Journal is published using an open access publication model.
