Communication Theory

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issues focuses on theory and methods for information transmission, storage, and processing. Traditionally, the topic has concerned digital communication between one or several transmitters and receivers, and a particular focus has been placed on wireless systems. More recently, methods and tools from communication theory are also becoming crucial in trusted communication over general networks, and with modern applications to sensor and actuator networks, vehicular communications, industrial communications, and data analytics.

Prospective contributions should consider theory and methods motivated by the wide area of theory for communication and network engineering.

Interested authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished contributions in all areas of communication theory. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following:

* Coding theory and techniques

* Interactive communication

* Communication theory for networks

* Privacy and security

* Communication for storage, computation, and analytics

* Optical communication

* Communication for networked control

* Foundations of wireless systems

* New directions in communication theory

* Communication complexity
