CALL FOR PAPERS Software Defined Wireless Networks (SDWN) The growing popularity of smart phones, tablet computers and cloud services places an increasing demand for dynamic services from wireless networks. This demand generates new requirements for the network architecture, such as flexibility in management and configuration, adaptability and vendor- independence. To meet these requirements, software defined wireless network (SDWN) is proposed as a cost-effective solution. SDWN decouples the data plane and the control plane, enabling the direct programmability of network control and the abstraction of the underlying infrastructure from the wireless applications. With SDWN, we can create a service delivery platform that is adaptable to users' varying demands. However, issues such as supporting a large number of subscribers, frequent mobility, fine-grained measurement and control, and real-time adaptation need to be addressed by future SDWN architectures. To reflect recent research advances on SDWN, this feature topic calls for original manuscripts with contributions in, but not limited to, the following topics: - Architecture of SDWN for future wireless networks - Development of SDWN for future wireless networks, including programming languages and models, trouble shooting tools, performance measurements, and simulators - Use cases of SDWN in future wireless networks, including spectrum management, policy control and charging, security and privacy, QoS control and mobility management, virtual cellular operator management, and interference management - Deployment of SDWN in future wireless networks and incremental deployment to existing wireless networks SDWN network function virtualization techniques, including evolved packet core (EPC) virtualization, baseband virtualization, and cloud radio access networks - Hybrid SDWN approaches, i.e., integration with other control planes such as cloud virtual machine (VM) control, big data control, etc. - Progresses in standardization, experiments and field trials of SDWN - Techno-economic analysis and market expectations of SDWN from the operators' perspective SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors are found at: http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submissionguidelines. It is important to note that IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, and the number of figures and tables. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. All manuscripts to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (made with permission of the editor. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central by the deadline (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee). Submit articles to the "November 2015/Software Defined Wireless Networks" category. IMPORTANT DATES Manuscript Submission Deadline: April 15, 2015 Decision Notification: July 1, 2015 Final Manuscript Deadline: September 1, 2015 Publication Date: November 2015 GUEST EDITORS Honglin Hu, Shanghai Research Center for Wireless Communications, China Hsiao-Hwa Chen, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Peter Mueller, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland* Rose Qingyang Hu, Utah State University, USA Yun Rui, Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, CAS, China *Contact pmu@zurich.ibm.com |
