Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, QoS is undoubtedly a key element in any packet network technology. Despite of important advances in QoS in communication networks, IP QoS is still an issue that challenges the scientific community. Current networks are deeply heterogeneous as well as future networks. The IP protocol, the main piece of Internet, plays a decisive role, since has been chosen to provide the interconnection framework among the multiple existing and emerging technologies. QoS requires a study end to end by access networks and their interconnections. Service convergence and integration needs a network able to match user contracts with traffic control and traffic management in the global IP network, even when the user moves changing the access technology. Apart from original papers in basic research for providing IP end to end QoS over wired and wireless networks, this special issue also will pay special attention to papers providing studies on efficiently support applications such as voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, music downloading and many others, and studies devoted to performance evaluation on QoS architectures for emerging networks such as IPTV, body networks and wearable networks.
