Wireless Communication: Applications, Challenges and Opportunities

Dear Colleagues,

Wireless and mobile communications have played a transformative role in recent decades. The rapid pace of technological innovation in these areas has allowed the realization of scenarios that were deemed impossible just a few years ago. As we move forward, however, a plethora of captivating challenges and opportunities emerge. These challenges call for the ingenious integration of emerging technologies, encompassing machine learning, satellites and other non-terrestrial platforms, extremely-high-frequency bands, efficient resource allocation strategies, and IC manufacturing of communication components, to meet the ever-increasing bandwidth requirement and the SDG goals set forth by the United Nations. This Special Issue invites scholars and practitioners to contribute their ideas and research findings that address these challenges and open up new opportunities.

This Special Issue seeks to publish original, high-quality research papers spanning diverse areas, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

• AI and machine learning for wireless and mobile communications.
• Wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things.
• Cyber security measures for wireless networks.
• Novel applications in the realm of wireless and mobile communications.
• Latency mitigation in mission-critical applications.
• Eco-friendly wireless and mobile communications.
• Cloud and edge computing for advancing wireless and mobile communications.
• Integration strategies for terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication platforms.
• Efficient radio resource allocation strategies to achieve distinct performance objectives.
• Evolutionary pathways and orchestration techniques for diverse wireless and mobile communication methods.
