Call for Papers

The ACM Wireless Networks Journal, published in cooperation with Baltzer
Science Publishers announces a Special Issue on:

TRANSMITTER POWER CONTROL IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

Scope:

High quality channels, high bandwidth utilization, low power consumption
and efficient resource management are trademarks of future wireless
networks.  Transmitter power control (up-link and down-link) is one of
several major techniques which is being studied to cope with these goals.

The scope of this special issue is to present state of the art power
control techniques and solutions for problems arising in wireless
networks.  Studies using centralized and distributed techniques,
general and implementation-related approaches, engineering and
mathematically oriented, are all solicited.

Papers should describe the problem, its practical aspect or relevance
to current and future wireless networks, present novel solutions,
and discuss the implementation aspects.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

Transmitter Power control for cochannel interference and management
+ C/I-balancing schemes
+ Signal-level based schemes
+ Removal/Admission schemes
+ Channel allocation schemes
+ Quantization & Dynamic range limitation
+ Dynamic behavior due to mobility
+ Effects of measurement errors & limited control channel bandwidth

Transmitter Power control in SSMA systems
+ Forward/Reverse power control in DS-CDMA systems
+ Power control in FH-CDMA systems

Transmitter Power control in Packet multiple access systems
+ Power Control in Wireless LANs
+ Power Control in cellular packet communication

Transmitter Power control in satellite channels

Transmitter Power control for non-stationary base stations

Implementation aspects
+ Amplifiers for wide range power control


The authors should send 6 copies of their paper (not exceeding 20 pages
double space, excl figures & tables) to one of the guest editors by January
31, 1996.


The following time-table shall apply:

Manuscript Submission Deadline      : January 31, 1996
Acceptance Notification             : April 30, 1996
Final Manuscript Submission Deadline: August 31, 1996
Publication Date                    : To be announced
