LOCATION-AWARENESS FOR RADIOS AND NETWORKS

Localization-awareness using radio signals stands to revolutionize the fields of navigation and communication

engineering. It can be utilized to great effect in the next generation of cellular networks, mining applica-tions, health-care monitoring, transportation and intelligent highways, multi-robot applications, first respondersoperations, military applications, factory automation, building and environmental controls, cognitive wirelessnetworks, commercial and social network applications, and smart spaces. A multitude of technologies can beutilized in location-aware radios and networks, including global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), RFID,cellular, UWB, WLAN, Bluetooth, cooperative localization, indoor GPS, device-free localization, IR, Radar, andUHF. The performances of these technologies are measured by their accuracy, precision, complexity, robustness,scalability, and cost. Given the many application scenarios across different disciplines, there is a clear need fora broad, up-to-date and cogent treatment of radio-based location awareness.

This special issue will bring together the latest research, innovations, and applications of location-awarenessfor radios and networks. Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit their original manuscript on topicsincluding, but not limited to:

Simultaneous localization and mapping techniques Algorithms for GNSS, assisted GNSS, augmented GNSS, and pseudolites Indoor location-aware networks (Bluetooth, Zigbee, WLAN, UWB localization) Positioning using opportunistic signals (3GPP/LTE, 802.11x, digital TV) Radio-based tomography, device-free localization, and through-the-wall sensing Security and privacy aspects of positioning Distributed, peer-to-peer, and collaborative localization and tracking Fundamental limits and bounds on position estimation Heterogeneous sensor fusion and hybridization algorithms for positioning Signal design, signal detection, and parameter estimation for positioning Testbeds, measurement campaigns, channel modeling, and experimentation Positioning for autonomous systems (robots, planes, cars) Interference cancelation, avoidance, and reduction techniques in the localization process

Location information for resource planning of radio and networks Special topics on localization and tracking (cooperative localization, optimization, networked-based local-

ization and mapping in general sensor networks, sparsity-exploiting sensing and decision)

Prospective authors should submit their manuscripts following the IEEE JSAC format at http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to http://www.edas.info, according to the following schedule:
