                  Baltzer/ACM Journal of 
             Mobile Networks and Applications
                        (MONET)

                     Special Issue on
"QUALITY OF SERVICE IN HETEROGENEOUS WIRELESS
NETWORKS"

"Anywhere, anytime, anymedia" has typically been
the 
utopian objective for networking researchers in
the past.  
While, the significant advances in current day
communication 
technologies are transforming that utopia into a
reality, 
some challenges still remain. Supporting efficient
Quality 
of Service (QoS) in wireless networks is one of
them. 
Wireless networks span a wide variety of systems
ranging 
from wireless LANs, and PCS systems, to satellite
networks,
ad hoc networks, and 3G and 4G wireless networks.
Supporting QoS in such heterogeneous environments
turns 
out to be a challenging task because of the unique 
characteristics of wireless networks, including
user 
mobility, dynamic topologies, unreliability of
wireless 
links, and scarcity of resources. 

This special issue focuses on new research
contributions 
in the area of quality of service in heterogeneous
wireless 
networks. We solicit papers with original
solutions 
enabling QoS in wireless networks. Topics of
interest 
include (but are not limited to) the following
areas in the 
context of wireless networks:

   o   Medium Access Control Protocols.
   o   Error Control Protocols.
   o   QoS Routing.
   o   Fault Tolerant Routing. 
   o   Dynamic Network Infrastructures.
   o   QoS and Power Efficiency.
   o   QoS in Mobile IP.
   o   Transport Protocols.
   o   Middleware Solutions for QoS.
   o   Network Architectures.
   o   Mobility Management.
   o   Performance Analysis Tools.
