Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: Smart Cities/From 5G to 6G/Digital Twins

Dear Colleagues,

Smart cities, the transition from 5G to 6G, and digital twins are hot topics in the area of networking. Smart cities include the application of a wide range of electronic and digital technologies to communities and cities. Sixth-generation wireless, 6G, is the successor to 5G cellular technology. These 6G networks could use higher frequencies than 5G networks and provide a substantially higher capacity and much lower latency. A digital twin is a dynamic virtual copy of a physical asset, process, system, or environment that looks like and behaves identically to its real-world counterpart. We can use a digital twin to predict possible performance outcomes and issues that the real-world product might undergo. Additionally, products, equipment, factories, buildings, and cities will no longer be in their present form, and will be more smart. This will unlock a new world with countless opportunities.

We invite high-quality paper submissions of a theoretical or experimental nature on topics that include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Smart cities;
• From 5G to 6G;
• Digital twins.
