Performance Criteria for Advanced Wireless Communications

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced wireless communications rely on specific performance criteria to ensure efficient and reliable operation. These criteria encompass various aspects vital for optimizing wireless networks and enhancing user experience:

• Throughput: Refers to the rate at which data are successfully transmitted over a communication channel. It measures the efficiency of data transfer and is typically quantified in bits per second.
• Latency: Denotes the time taken for data to travel from the source to the destination. Low latency is crucial for real-time applications like video conferencing and online gaming to ensure prompt responses and smooth interactions.
• Reliability: Ensures consistent and accurate data delivery, even in challenging environments with obstacles or interference. Reliable communication minimizes packet loss and ensures uninterrupted connectivity.
• Coverage: Defines the extent of geographical area or range over which wireless signals can effectively propagate. Extending coverage enhances accessibility and connectivity for users across diverse locations.
• Spectral Efficiency: Maximizes the utilization of available frequency spectrum to transmit data efficiently. By optimizing spectral efficiency, wireless networks can accommodate more users and data traffic, increasing overall network capacity.

These performance criteria are fundamental for evaluating and improving the effectiveness of advanced wireless communication systems, ensuring that they meet the demands of modern connectivity requirements.

We invite submissions for papers focusing on performance criteria for advanced wireless communications. Topics may include but are not limited to the following:

• Novel performance evaluation methods and metrics for wireless communication systems.
• Performance analysis and optimization techniques for 5G and beyond networks.
• Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) considerations in wireless communication.
• Performance enhancement through advanced antenna technologies and beamforming.
• Energy efficiency and sustainability metrics for wireless networks.
• Security and reliability aspects influencing performance in wireless communications.

We welcome original research articles, review papers, and case studies addressing these and related topics. Please submit your contributions by following the guidelines provided.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Telecom is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
