State-of-the-Art of Intelligent Communication Networks

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of communication networks and the growing number of network users, current communication network technologies cannot meet the needs of future users. Therefore, there is a need for more intelligent wireless communication technologies. Intelligent communication systems and networks allow evolution from the simple transfer and exchange of information to the intelligent storage and processing of information. Intelligent communication systems and networks introduce more artificial intelligence in the network, thereby improving the service-processing capability and adaptability and providing services required for various users at any time.

In this Special Issue, the focus is to report state-of-the-art proposals using artificial intelligence in any communication networks. Currently, artificial intelligence is used in many communication networks, such as: wireless sensor networks; mobile ad hoc networks; wireless mesh networks; cellular networks; 5G and beyond; network security; cloud, edge, and fog computing; personal-area networks; wide-area networks; broadband networks; body area networks; satellite communication; delay-tolerant networks, etc.
