Special Issue Information

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.

Clustering strategy in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) affects the lifetime, adaptability, and energy productivity of the wireless network system. The low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol is a convention used to improve the lifetime of WSNs. In this paper, a novel energy-efficient clustering algorithm is proposed, with the aim of improving the energy efficiency of WSNs by reducing and balancing the energy consumptions. The clustering-based convention adjusts the energy utilization by allowing an equal opportunity for each node to turn them into a cluster head (CH). Two-level clustering (TLC) is introduced by adopting LEACH convention where CH selection process undergoes first and second level of clustering to overcome boundary problem in LEACH protocol. The TLC method structures nodes within the scope of the appointed CHs, in order to extend the lifetime of the system. The simulation results show that, in comparison with state-of-the-art methodologies, our proposed method significantly enhanced the system lifetime. Full article
