Special Issue on Heterogeneous Network

With the development of human society and economy, the exchange and transmission of information are becoming increasingly important, and then it brings a network which could make several different communication networks coexist, such kind of network is called heterogeneous network. A heterogeneous network connects computers and other devices with different operating systems and protocols; it also refers to the access technologies used in wireless networks. Since the main purpose of heterogeneous network is achieving fast, reliable and secure exchange and transmission of information, the business development and evolution is the foundation and key in developing networks. This special issue will be focusing on talking about various networks which are related to heterogeneous network, and studying the problems in programming, operating and optimizing heterogeneous network.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring heterogeneous network. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Local area networks
• Wireless heterogeneous network
• Interoperability of heterogeneous network
• Heterogeneous communication
• Cellular networks
• Long term evolution of heterogeneous network
• Security routing protocol
• Access authentication technology

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission, Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Heterogeneous Network” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
