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.

This paper examines two-way relaying cognitive radio networks utilizing fountain coding (FC), reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), and radio frequency energy harvesting (EH). In the proposed schemes, two secondary sources attempt to exchange data with each other through the assistance of an RIS deployed in the network. Using FC, one source sends its encoded packets to the other source, which must collect enough packets for a successful data recovery. The transmit power of the two sources is adjusted according to an interference constraint given by a primary user and the energy harvested from a power station. In the conventional scheme, one source continuously transmits FC packets to the other, using the maximum number of transmissions allowed. In the modified scheme, as soon as one source collects a sufficient number of FC packets, it notifies the other source to stop transmission. We derive closed-form expressions of outage probability (OP) at each source, system outage probability (SOP), and average number of FC-packet transmissions for the successful data exchange of the considered schemes over Rayleigh fading channels. Simulation results are provided to validate our analysis, to compare the performance of the considered schemes, and to examine the impact of key parameters on performance. Full article

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

The potential consequences of interference on communication networks are one of the main challenges in the nature and efficiency of wireless communication links. The interruption is seen as additional noise to the device, which can have a major impact on the efficiency of the connection. The rapid expansion of broadband wireless networks and the increasing congestion of the radio frequency spectrum due to shared usage by terrestrial and satellite networks have heightened concerns about potential interference. To optimize spectrum utilization, multiple terrestrial and satellite networks often coexist within the same frequency bands allocated for satellite communications services. Spectrum interference in wireless networks is a topic of much interest in the current scenario as it can present a lot of challenges. This article provides a critical review of the coexistence and spectrum sharing in wireless networks. Along with this, mitigation techniques to avoid interference have also been discussed in detail. The article aims to give a detailed discussion on the challenges and opportunities in this field by reviewing significant recent works in this field. Full article
