Call for Papers
Iterative Decoding and Cross-Layering Techniques for 
Multimedia Broadcasting and Communications


The explosive growth of multimedia applications over the 
Internet and the ever-increasing users' demands over 
commercial terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting all 
over the world call for efficient physical and cross-layer 
techniques able to mitigate the potential problems 
limiting broadband services over wireless networks. In 
this scenario, mobile multimedia is expected to be one of 
the key services of future wireless mobile networks. 
Meanwhile, recent advances in digital communications have 
paved the way to a variety of standards aimed at providing 
multimedia services over terrestrial broadband networks. 
To cite but a few, DVB-H, T-DVB, T-DMB, wireless LANs, and 
wireless MANs are some of the most recent standards 
enabling such technology.

Iterative decoding techniques for both source, channel, 
and joint source-channel coding and decoding and 
cross-layering techniques have proven to be very effective 
for providing a viable means of achieving 
capacity-approaching performance at very reduced 
computational burden.

The main aim of this special issue is to highlight 
state-of-the-art techniques on the most recent research 
advances enabling digital multimedia services over 
broadband wireless networks, focused on physical and 
cross-layering solutions. Novel contributions, previously 
unpublished, that are not being submitted to any other 
journal, are sought.


Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the 
following subject categories:

Iterative decoding techniques for concatenated channel 
codes (turbo codes and serially concatenated codes)
Iterative decoding techniques for joint source-channel 
decoding
Novel capacity-approaching channel codes: coding 
strategies and efficient decoding algorithms
Cross-layer modelling/analysis and optimization techniques
Standardization activities on digital multimedia 
broadcasting protocols
Space-time coding and decoding
Novel MIMO solutions for counteracting multipath mobile 
channels
Channel estimation and equalization
Improved channel equalization techniques for SIMO and MIMO 
systems
Experimental testbeds
Hardware Implementation and SoC solutions
