Call for Papers Special Issue on Trends in Mobile Radio Channels: Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation - IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine
The ever growing demand for
multimedia services, high mobility, and global connectivity has
resulted in recent years in an explosion of new technologies for
wireless communication systems. All components of a wireless
communication system ranging from digital modulation schemes over
channel coding techniques up to higher layer protocols are influenced
by the characteristics of the mobile radio channel. A thorough
understanding of the mobile radio channel is therefore crucial for the
development, performance optimization, and test of present as well as
next generation mobile radio systems. This is the reason why exploring
the mobile radio channel has always been a key research topic from the
very beginning of mobile communications until today. Currently, the
research on mobile fading channels involves a variety of challenging
topics such as the modeling of car-to-car channels, MIMO channels,
cooperative channels, and ultra wideband channels, only to name a few.
The objective of this special issue is to identify upcoming trends in
the fascinating world of mobile radio channels and to make recent
research results readily comprehensible to a wide readership.

The articles in this special issue will report on the state-of-art
research in mobile fading channels. The topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:
- Channel models for 3G and 4G wireless communication systems
- Channel models for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems
- Advances in indoor, outdoor, and indoor-to-outdoor channel modeling
- Channel models for mobile-to-mobile cooperative communication systems
- Channel models for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications
- Ultra wideband channels
- Channel models for satellite communications
- Channel models for underwater wireless communication networks
- Advanced ray tracing techniques
