Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to recent advances in wireless communication and networking technologies, a surge of ubiquitous infrastructure and high-performance wireless networks have been observed, leading to a wide variety of applications ranging from environment monitoring to health care, as well as from critical infrastructure protection to wireless security. The number of users and variety of services have grown not only in number, but also in complexity, intensifying the interest in developing principles, algorithms, design methodologies, and systematic evaluation frameworks for next-generation wireless networks.
Wireless networks pose many algorithmic challenges, such as modeling realistic wireless signal propagation, interference at the lower level, and dynamics and mobility at the higher level being complex problems. Additionally, emerging technologies in this domain make this task even more difficult; thus, using these models in rigorous algorithmic research is very challenging. In this context, analyzing protocols for wireless networks in a more realistic set up is essential to demonstrate that these protocols would actually work in practice.
Another aspect of this problem is that next-generation wireless and mobile networks are going to be more complex due to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, etc. Since the modeling of wireless networks is going to become increasingly more difficult, the complexity of solutions is going to increase exponentially, leading to a higher network operation and maintenance costs.
The incorporation of AI into the future wireless network architecture has become a technological trend in research and exploration, contributing to the future wireless network transmission framework. Moreover, there is a need for further research discussing AI combined with communication network channel modelling, network operation and maintenance, network security audits, and other fields.
The focus of this Special Issue is (i) models and algorithmic approaches to better understand the capabilities and limitations of modern wireless networks and (ii) the application of intelligent algorithms in next-generation wireless networks.
