For example, wireless hotspots are so widely deployed that access to the Internet is almost ubiquitous; people can work and play via Internet access no matter whether they are sitting on a terrace, travelling on a train, or flying in a plane. The explosive growth of applications for the current and emerging user services poses a number of challenges to this critical infrastructure. It also presents opportunities for research and innovation to both the academia and industry, especially for the development of efficiency, scalability and reliability in mobile and wireless networks. These challenges motivate us to design and develop new protocols, architectures and services for future mobile and wireless networks. The goal of this special issue is to publish both state-of-the-art and prospective papers that present advances towards the performance enhancement of mobile and wireless networks. In this context, papers will discuss all aspects that have an impact on the performance as depicted in research activities from professionals, academics and researchers. This special issue will be partially composed of the extended versions of the quality papers presented at the Special Session on Recent Issues in Mobile and Wireless Networks, the 2014 Global Wireless Summit (GWS 2014) at http://gws2014.org/.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>Topics:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Topics of interest with respect to mobile and wireless networks include but are not limited to the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Design and analysis of mobile and wireless networks<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> MAC protocol design<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> New mobile and wireless applications and network services<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Multimedia over mobile and wireless networks<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> New trends on data gathering, processing, and communications<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> New trends on malicious behavior detection and analysis <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> QoS and QoE issues<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Robustness and fault tolerance<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Algorithms and techniques for efficient communications<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Routing and data transport<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Modeling and performance evaluation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Measurements and experience from experimental systems and test-beds<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Integration of mobile and wireless networks and web-based services<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Internetworking of mobile and wireless networks<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Security issues<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Cross-layer architectures<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Power consumption and optimization<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Location discovery and location management<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Data fusion and dynamic inference of network information<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Green communications and networking<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Mobile clouds<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"新細明體","serif"'></span><span lang=EN-US> Emerging technologies<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>Submission Information:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Authors should follow the Wireless Personal Communications Journal manuscript format described in the Instructions for Authors link on the journal site: <a href="http://www.springer.com/11277">http://www.springer.com/11277</a>.
