Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electronics publishes high-quality manuscripts on advances in the state of the art in wireless communications. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments, prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. The general scope of the transactions includes, but is not limited to, the following: modulation and coding , detection and estimation, diversity techniques and equalization, propagation and channel characterization, fading countermeasures, multiuser detection, signal separation and interference rejection, DSP applications to wireless systems, broadband wireless communications, network architectures and protocols, with an emphasis on physical and link layer communication, adaptive antennas for wireless systems, multiple access techniques, space–time processing, synchronization techniques, software radio, resource allocation and interference management, multi-rate and multicarrier communications, security, privacy, and authentication, experimental and prototype results, systems and services, including mobile satellites, wireless local loops, wireless LANs, wireless PBX, and PCS/cellular.
In addition, papers on specific topics or on more non-traditional topics related to specific application areas are encouraged. Examples include simulation tools and methodologies for design, analysis, rapid prototyping, performance prediction, and cellular system engineering; orthogonal frequency division multiplexing; MIMO systems, and wireless over optical.
This is a dramatic change from previous technologies, which will provide significant challenges as well as new opportunities. For example, beam forming and beam steering (using antenna arrays or SIW) will be possible, given that individual antennas can be much smaller at higher frequencies. At these high frequencies, the wavelength (lambda) is around 1 cm. Thus, the devices are multi-lambda platforms, which means that the position of the antenna itself has become much more critical, replacing the integration aspect, key in previous technologies. These more complex aspects of 5G/6G/LTE/Wi-Fi/BLE and IoT development also make it critical to evaluate multiple implementations in order to optimally identify and adjust trade-offs.
This Special Issue aims to bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges, complex aspects, and new results related to the design and performances of 5G/6G/LTE/Wi-Fi/BLE and IoT antennas.
