Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current wireless communication networks constitute between six and a half and seven million base stations worldwide, with 4G and 5G covering more than 50% of the output and predicted to completely replace the older technologies in a few years. There are currently around eight billion mobile subscriptions, increasing by two billion every 10 years. Future networks will thus be fundamental for society and industries and be required to fulfill the communication needs of humans as well as intelligent machines. This has faced the industry and research communities with a significant challenge in constructing this infrastructure, which should contribute to an efficient, human-friendly, sustainable society through intelligent communication.
To serve as the platform for a wide range of new and evolving services, the capabilities of future networks need to be enhanced and extended in various dimensions. This includes improving achievable data rates and system capacities, minimizing latency. Furthermore, the exponentially growing traffic demand should be met with a limited increase in the overall costs. For digital innovations to remain inclusive, the total cost must be sustainable.
This Special Issue will explore recent advances and challenges in modern communications, from the system level to the device level, with an emphasis on energy efficiency enhancement and reconfigurability. We are inviting papers from both the industry and academia that provide relevant insights from various points of view.
