Dear All, 
  
You are cordially invited to submit a paper to this special issue. 

 

CALL FOR PAPERS

Journal of Computer Systems, Networks, and Communications 

Special issue on WiMAX, LTE and WiFi Interworking

Guest Editors: Rashid A. Saeed, Ahmed A. Mabrouk, Amitava Mukherjee, Francisco Falcone and K. Daniel Wong

 
Although both WiMAX, LTE and WiFi provide wireless broadband connectivity, they have been optimized for different usage models: WiFi for very high-speed WLAN connectivity and WiMAX, LTE for high-speed Wireless WAN (WWAN) connectivity. By combining WiMAX, LTE and WiFi technologies, service providers can offer their subscribers a more complete suite of broadband services in more places. The unique similarities between WiMAX, LTE and WiFi networks that make the proposed synergy is promising is these technologies are fully packet switching uses IP-based technologies to provide connection services to the Internet. This standards- and IP-based network approach provides compelling benefits to service providers to collaborate between these technologies. 
 
This special issue is intended to foster state-of-the-art research in the area of WiMAX, WiBro, LTE and WiFi networking and the corresponding technical advances in the design and deployment of feasible network architectures and protocols and to present novel results and solutions to solve various problems and challenges foreseen in WiMAX/LTE and WiFi interworking. The special issue will cover the following topical areas but are not limited to them:
 

WiMAX, WiBro, MobileFi, LTE and WiFi communications systems
Single/dual radio handover
Network architecture alternatives for inter-working and integration
Heterogeneous Wireless Networks 
Seamless vertical handover and session continuity. 
Multi-radio coexistence and power management
