SV: Call for Papers: IJCN - More Information

Dear Gorry Fairhurst,

I am interested in contributing to the IJCN special issue on IP over DVB. 

My intention is to write about "Performance bounds of dynamic radio resource management schemes for cellular unicasting services over DVB-T". It would be my 6th publication related to this topic.

However, there is no call-for-papers available on the net, and the author guidelines that I have found are not very detailed. I just want to check if there is some additional information available.

1. How many pages or words do you require/accept/recommend?

2. If the paper would contain an extensive amount of equations and simulation result plots, would that be considered as disadvantageous in the reviewing? Do you prefer "magazine style" papers?

3. Are there any recommended MS Word template available for the camera ready version?

Sincerely,
Magnus Eriksson
Mid Sweden University / Royal inst. of technology

Special Issue

Internet over Digital Broadcast Video Networks
Editors: Marie-José Montpetit, mjmontpetit.com and
Gorry Fairhurst, Universtity of Aberdeen

Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) technologies are widely used over broadcast media that include satellite (DVB-S), cable (DVB-C and Open Cable) and terrestrial (DVB-T). They provide unidirectional communications from the content provider to the end user.  The return channel can be either via a terrestrial technology or via satellite (DVB return channel system or RCS). Current standards define a link layer protocol to enable transmission of the digital multimedia content. More and more, however, DVB is used to build Internet-compatible networks. In order to do this an MPEG-2 Transport Stream cell is used as a "container" for the IP packets with an added encapsulation header to allow the information to be adequately processed.  Over the years a number of encapsulation methods have been explored to
transmit data over broadcast media.  The current standard for DVB is the
Multi-Protocol Encapsulation (MPE). While this may be used to send Internet Packets, there are further issues that arise when used to build an Internet Service.  Such issues are an active research topic, and have received recent attention in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) community. In addition, recent efforts have been dedicated to making DVB a more dynamic network with protocols for address resolution and multicast group management to complement current solution that use table based methods. Finally, the support for Quality of Service (QoS) and security service is also actively pursued.

This special issue intends to review current IP over DVB research and establish what the status of this important technology is in the deployment of the broadband networks of the near future. Topics addressed by the special issue include (but are not limited to):
-	system design and scenarios
-	DVB and MPEG-2 networking technologies
-	encapsulation and hardware/software implementations for IPv4 and v6
-	address resolution
-	multicast group management
-	quality of service issues
-	simulation of DVB networks
-	standardization efforts
