Recent Advances in Mobile and Wireless Communication Networks

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last two decades, mobile and wireless communication networks have experienced huge growth, now involving billions of connected devices. The standardization and deployment of wide and local area networks are growing rapidly, and further development is expected. The 5th generation of cellular mobile communication networks is being deployed and research studies are pointing to the ‘beyond 5G’ era and the 6G approach, while wireless local area networks are looking towards the 7th generation of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) networks; both also including wireless sensor networks or, more generally, the Internet of Things (IoT). Interworking between cellular and Wi-Fi networks is also being considered by standardization organizations.

For the abovementioned reasons, this Special Issue aims to collect high-quality research papers and review articles on the latest trends and developments in cellular mobile communication networks (5G, B5G, 6G) and wireless local area networks, including IoT scenarios and their intergration. This Special Issue solicits original papers that contribute to the scientific community with solid ideas that have not been published before and are not under review by other journals or conferences. Theoretical investigations simulations, and practical experiments are welcome.
