Special Issue on "Multimedia Transmission over Emerging Wireless
Technologies"

The efficient delivery of multimedia applications and services over
emerging diverse and heterogeneous wireless networks (e.g., 2.5G/3G/4G,
Wi-Max, WLANs, PANs, adhoc, etc.) is a challenging research objective. The
research effort for the 3G/4G vision of interworking among heterogeneous
technologies to achieve multimedia session continuity, retain multimedia
QoS characteristics, amplifies the need to evaluate the conditions and
restrictions under which delivery of such services can be accomplished.
Furthermore, there are several research issues such as encoding
techniques, cross-layer optimization, error control, security require
considerable research effort so that appropriate solutions are designed
and developed.

The scope of this special issue is to present state-of-the-art research
and developing activities contributing to all facets of multimedia across
heterogeneous emerging wireless technologies (e.g., 4G, adhoc, Wi-Max,
etc.). This special issue aims to disseminate state-of-the-art research,
development, and novel solutions of multimedia transmission over wireless/
mobile-networked multimedia adhoc systems and technologies. The special
issue expects to receive contributions in the following research fields:
* Providing QoS over wireless networks (scheduling, call admission control
and rate control, packetization schemes, prioritization schemes)
* Protocols for efficient delivery of multimedia applications and services
over mobile networks
* New audio/video coding techniques over wireless networks
* Cross-layer techniques for multimedia communications over wireless
networks
* Performance evaluation of multimedia services via analysis, simulation,
and experiments (voice, video, interactive gaming)
* Design, implementation, and testbed/experimental results for wireless
multimedia systems
* P2P techniques for multimedia delivery over adhoc networks
* Mobile content delivery networking
