Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are characterized by

the twofold role played by each node, acting either as a user or as a server. In

literature, great efforts have been devoted to investigate internodes

transmission, cooperation, and optimization strategies, mostly referring to an

application unaware communication framework. However, in the evolving multimedia

communication scenarios, the role of each end-user application may change from

producing to consuming multimedia data, in a more and more flexible way. Each

user plays, at the same time, a source/destination role, and it can even

cooperate with other users at the application layer, as shown by recent studies

on distributed source coding, as well as on multicamera networks, or on

distributed rate allocation. The potentiality of such a flexibility achieved at

the application layer can be powered when it copes with a dynamic mesh network

transmission framework.

The scope of this special issue is to investigate the

potentiality of such a dynamic multimedia network, envisaging different services

scenarios and possible technical solutions. Several research areas are involved:

standards, architectures, systems, services, and others at the different

layers.

Research contribution are solicited, at the aim of envisaging a

framework of candidate solutions, so as to step further a scenario in which

interoperability is not superimposed but it naturally arises from a design

philosophy aiming at enriched and open dynamical communication

schemes.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

Advanced coding techniques, including but not limited to multiple

description coding and single and multiview distributed video CodingEmerging standard for multimedia scalable, distributed, multiview encoding:

advantages and limits of nonstandard versus standard compliant techniquesCompression versus protection trade-off: channel coding versus error

WMNCross-layer optimization and codingNetwork protocols for multimedia quality aware delivering: interoperability
