Scope: Research and development efforts in mobile and wireless networking are progressing at an astounding pace. The next generation "killer applications" are touted be multimedia based. Supporting multimedia applications and services over wireless networks is challenging due to constraints and heterogeneities such as limited battery power, high rate, limited bandwidth, randomly time-varying network interference, different protocols and standards, stringent quality of service (QoS) requirement etc. Recent advances in wireless multimedia research seems to be focused on adaptively optimizing and trading-off the available resources based on the multimedia content and type of wireless network. The focus of this Special Issue is to present state-of-the-art research in wireless multimedia processing and networking. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to:

Cross protocol layer optimizations Multimedia over wireless Ad Hoc Networks
Error-resilience techniques Multimedia over wireless peer-to-peer networks
Internetworking Space-time coding for multimedia
Joint source-channel coding and multiple description coding Standards co-existence
"Killer" wireless multimedia applications Wireless media streaming
Low power algorithms and protocols Wireless multimedia security
Mobility in multimedia  
Multimedia over next generation wireless networks
