Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today's interconnected world, communication systems and networks form the backbone of modern society, facilitating the seamless exchange of information across vast distances and diverse platforms. The evolution of these systems has been propelled by rapid advancements in technology, ranging from wireless communications, machine learning, and AI applications in network management devices to satellite networks and beyond. This Special Issue on "Communication Systems and Networks" seeks to explore the latest innovations and emerging trends in this critical domain.
Communication systems and networks are pivotal in enabling global connectivity, supporting everything from personal communications to industrial automation and smart city infrastructure. Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in areas such as 5G deployment, artificial-intelligence-driven network optimization, cybersecurity strategies, and the integration of renewable energy sources into communication infrastructure. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced wireless communication technologies;
- Security and privacy in communication networks;
- Link prediction and scheduling in networks;
- Machine learning and AI applications in network management;
- Applications of communication networks in smart cities, smart power, and beyond.
