                     CALL FOR PAPERS


 MOBILITY AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN NEXT GENERATION WIRELESS SYSTEMS


    IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications


The technology and business of cellular communications systems
have made spectacular progress since the first systems were
introduced fifteen years ago. Global roaming is a reality in 
current cellular systems that deliver low bandwidth services,
such as telephone calls and short messages. However, future
wireless systems are envisioned to provide high capacity,
ubiquitous wireless communication in a variety of environments,
including indoor office, pedestrian, vehicle, and satellite.
Future systems will also include a wide variety of  
applications which will result in diverse traffic classes 
being supported and carried over wireless systems. 
Wireless networks must be more robust and diverse than
today's second-generation cellular networks to support the 
new range of services, resource demands, and roaming 
capabilities of the future wireless customer.


This special issue focuses on the new research contributions
in the area of mobility and resource management for future
wireless systems. We solicit a variety of papers with 
innovative solutions for mobility and resource management
issues including, but not limited to:


* PCS Systems
* Mobile IP
* Wireless Local Area Networks
* Ad Hoc Networks
* Hybrid Networks (Terrestrial-Satellite)
* 4G Wireless Systems
* Hierarchical and Macrodiversity Architectures
* Wireless ATM
* Wireless Local Loop
* Satellite Networks
* 3G (IMT2000, UMTS) Wireless Systems
