CFP: Recent Advances in Mobile Lightweight Wireless Systems EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking **************************************************************************** http://jwcn.eurasipjournals.com/ (published by Springer) The exponential growth of portable wireless devices (ranging from cellular phones to handheld game consoles, from personal digital assistant and personal navigation devices to still and video cameras) has spurred the necessity to build effective lightweight wireless systems, thus resulting into an unprecedented demand for lightweight, wireless communication devices featuring high usability, performance, and support for added-value services in highly mobile environments. Besides the attractive business opportunities, lightweight wireless systems clearly require significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructures, algorithms at all levels of the protocol stack (from Physical Layer to Application Layer), devices, and services so as to support the anytime, anywhere, any device philosophy in future communication systems. At the PHY layer, lightweight communications encompass effective algorithms for power saving in distributed data processing, efficient signal processing algorithms guaranteeing low power consumptions as well as limited size constraints, and channel coding and decoding schemes yielding optimal error-rate performance at the highest possible data rate coupled with efficient iterative decoding algorithms, to cite a few. The purpose of this special issue is to publish high quality research papers addressing recent advances on enabling technologies for mobile lightweight wireless systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following subject categories: * PHY and MAC techniques enabling wireless lightweight devices, including lightweight security mechanisms * Wireless lightweight device networking, including routing and cross-layer algorithms for mobile lightweight wireless systems * Cognitive radio algorithms for lightweight systems allowing for computationally efficient resource allocation and spectrum management solutions (e.g., bio-inspired processing) * Multimedia and vehicular communications for weight-constrained terminals * Wireless lightweight testbeds * Available and emerging solutions for lightweight systems Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://jwcn.eurasipjournals.com/authors/instructions Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://jwcn.eurasipjournals.com/manuscript according to the following timetable: Manuscript Due September 15, 2011 First Round of Reviews December 15, 2011 Publication Date March 15, 2012 *********************************** Lead Guest Editor * Periklis Chatzimisios, Department of Informatics, Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Sindos, 57400, Thessaloniki, Greece Guest Editors * Christos Verikoukis, Telecommunications Technological Centre of Catalonia (CTTC), Av. del Canal Olimpic, 08860 Castelldefels, Spain * Ignacio Santamaría, Department of Communications Engineering, University of Cantabria, Plaza de la Ciencia, 39005 Santander, Spain * Massimiliano Laddomada, Electrical Engineering Department, Texas A&M University, Texarkana, TX, USA * Oliver Hoffmann, Dortmund University of Technology, Communication Technology Institute, Otto-Hahn-Street 4, 44221 Dortmund, Germany * Javier Del Ser, Tecnalia Research & Innovation, 48170 Zamudio-Bizkaia,Spain **************************************
