Upcoming Special Issues
JCN SPECIAL ISSUE ON
GREEN RADIO: ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN WIRELESS
NETWORKS
PUBLICATION DATE: April 2010
Spectrum efficiency is typically considered the key criterion for designing and optimizing broadband wireless
communications systems. This led to the widespread use of complex channel coding techniques, modulation formats
with high demands on the analog front-end, and more recently to the use of multiple antenna techniques for advanced
interference mitigation. However, using such techniques typically implies accepting a higher power consumption not only of
the transceiver but of the complete radio access network. Thus, the increasing share of wireless in the global CO2 footprint
has now put another optimization criterion on the research agenda: energy efficiency. This Special Issue of JCN will put
together high-quality research articles on recent advances in theory and applications of energy efficient transmission
techniques for next generation wireless communication networks. Articles for this special issue will be solicited through
an open call-for-papers to experts in the field from industry and academia. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
| |
" Power consumption trends and challenges in wireless systems
" Information theory on energy efficiency
· Fundamental limits
· Trade-off between spectral and energy efficiency
" Energy efficiency metrics
· System level measures for network optimization
· Utility functions
" Network architectures
· Mix of macro-, micro-, femto-cells
· Spatial re-use concepts

JCN SPECIAL ISSUE ON
SPARSITY IN COMMUNICATIONS
PUBLICATION DATE: August 2010
The last few years have seen an explosive growth of activity in the area of compressed sensing, attracting researchers from applied mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, information theory, signal processing, communication theory, optimization theory, and mathematical statistics. The main motivation leading to the development of compressed sensing theory was the insight that many natural and man-made signals, when represented in a suitable basis, are sparse in the sense that they can be described by a small number of significant coefficients relative to their dimension. Systematically accounting for sparsity properties has the potential to drastically reduce the data acquisition effort and improve the accuracy of signal recovery at the cost of increased computational complexity.
The goal of this special issue of JCN is to elicit theoretical and practical aspects of the compressed sensing paradigm in communication theory and systems, wireless communications, and wireless (sensor) networks. Articles for this special issue will be solicited through an open call-for-papers to experts in the field from industry and academia. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
| |
" Information-theoretic limits of compressed sensing
" Completion of low-rank matrices
" Sparsity in wired and wireless communication channels
" Sparsity in ultra-wideband communication
" Sparsity in sensor networks
" Sparsity in traffic models
" Characterization of sparse communication signals
" Receive algorithms exploiting signal sparsity and/or channel sparsity
" Modeling of sparse communication channels
" Exploiting sparsity in channel measurements

RECENT ADVANCES IN SATELLITE AND SPACE COMMUNICATIONS
PUBLICATION DATE: December 2010
Many of the wireless technologies used today are based on the efforts initiated by satellite communications researchers four decades ago. Thus the main technology behind the different applications is very similar in both terrestrial and space systems. This is very supportive today, with the ever growing demand for multimedia services, high mobility and global connectivity leading us to a truly transparent interoperability of our flourishing communications infrastructure. Satellite systems have always a key role to play covering this demand for ordinary as well as for emergency situations. This Special Issue of JCN will put together high-quality research articles on recent advances in satellite and space communications for next generation wireless communication networks.
