Special issue on: Security Challenges in Emerging and Next-Generation
Wireless Communication Networks
 ===================================================================

The Wireless network technologies are undergoing rapid advancements.
Researchers are currently envisioning different attractive properties of
wireless systems such as the ability to self-organize, self-configure,
self-heal, self-manage and self-maintain. Different wireless networks
having the potential to offer cost-effective home and enterprise access
networking solutions are being researched. Concepts such as dynamic
spectrum access,convergence, unified network architectures and seamless service
access in
heterogeneous networks are gaining widespread popularity. Technologies
such as Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), WiFi, WiMAX, Bluetooth, ZigBee,
RFID, IEEE 802.20, IEEE 802.22 and software defined radio are becoming
increasingly popular. Even though these technologies hold great promises
for our future, there are several research challenges that need to be
addressed. A significant portion of these research challenges are
attributed to security and privacy issues in these kinds of networks. This
Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers related to the
recent advances in the security and privacy of different emerging and
next-generation network technologies. Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to, the security and privacy issues and challenges in the
following:

. Emerging Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks
. Wireless Mesh Networks
. Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET)
. Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTN)
. Underwater Sensor Networks
. Underground Sensor Networks
. Cooperative wireless communications
. Next Generation Wireless Network Services . Wireless Telemedicine and
e-health . Next Generation Wireless Access Networks . IEEE
802.11/802.20/802.22 . Emerging issues in 3G and 4G wireless . Next
Generation Cellular wireless networks . Wireless Internet . Software
defined radio . Ultra-wide band radio . Emerging wireless network security
issues.
Emerging wireless network architecture . Multimedia over emerging wireless
networks . Inter-working of new and existing networks.
