ACM Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal Special Issue on Cooperatively Networked Femtocells

摘要

Editorial: The proliferation of new applications, e.g., mobile TV, Internet gaming, large file transfer, and the development of user terminals, e.g., smart phones and notebooks, has dramatically increased user traffic and network load. Moreover, with the number of wireless subscribers expected to triple over the next 5 years, it is obvious that current networks will not be able to satisfy customer demands in the near future. In order to meet this traffic growth and provide service to their users, vendors and operators are working on the development of new technologies and cellular standards.
