Special Issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing: Advancement of research in wireless access and mobile systems

摘要

Wireless access has matured and become a distinct research field in its own right. Recent roll-out of wide area true packet based systems such as UMTS and the increasing popularity of WLAN solutions in the enterprise as well as residential settings have led to a situation where multi homing and overlaid access networks are becoming a reality. Experience with such environments has recently prompted the discovery of previously unknown problems and the emergence of new research directions.
