Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) has become an essential aspect of communication systems, as the demand for applications that require high reliability and low latency continues to grow. With advancements in technologies such as 5G and the emergence of 6G, new opportunities have arisen in fields such as industry 4.0, autonomous vehicles, and e-health. However, achieving URLLC requires addressing various challenges, including radio resource management and the integration of dedicated short range in-X subnetworks for extreme communication.
This Special Issue will focus on the latest research and development in the field of URLLC, including the following topics:
- 5G and 6G networks for URLLC;
- Radio resource management for URLLC;
- Design and integration of in-X subnetworks for URLLC;
- URLLC in industrial automation and control systems;
- URLLC in autonomous vehicles and transportation systems;
- URLLC in e-health and telemedicine;
- Edge computing and edge-assisted URLLC;
- URLLC in Internet of Things (IoT);
- Security and privacy in URLLC;
- Design and evaluation of URLLC systems and protocols;
- URLLC standards and standardization.
