Cooperative and Cognitive Wireless Networks with IoT Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on wireless data and information transmission and signal transfer to facilitate communications among the Internet of Things (IoT) devices of various applications and deployments. Cooperative networks are considered where IoT devices are able to communicate their cognitive information. Efficient network slicing for smart IoT devices communications is a crucial factor for the high performance of cognitive and 6G networks. Cognitive platforms to construct reliable radio systems and network architecture are considered in this issue. Vehicular cooperative and cognitive networks and applications are vital in smart cities, particularly with self-driven cars. Techniques across a wide range of data communications, information transfer, routing, admission control, collision avoidance, signals fading, traffic control, data security, and cognitive sensing in ad hoc networks are desired. Applications include smart homes, smart cities, e-health, self-driven vehicles, e-learning, etc.

I look forward to receiving your contributions. 

Dr. Hosam El-Ocla
