Advances in Wireless Communication Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Wireless communications are unquestionably a cornerstone of modern society. Research in this field has been conducted for decades, and important advances are still being done nowadays. Advances in this field are constant, with upgrades being made on existing wireless standards (such as 4G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, LoRa,…) and with the constant push for new technologies (like 5G and now 6G). Despite the technological advances, the key success for wireless communications is its unquestionable enabling solution in countless key areas, such as environmental monitoring (oceans, forests, hydric resources, wildlife, agriculture, food, …), healthcare, aeronautics, space, surveillance, transportation, data sharing, communication, to mention just a few key applications.

Authors are invited to contribute to this special issue with their contributions to the advancement of wireless communication technologies, whether at the technological levels or as a novel application in any of the enumerated fields.
