Special issue on Emerging trends and applications in future communication networks

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The​​​me 

Future emerging networks are envisaged to deliver high data rates to a large number of users within tight time boundaries, respecting energy consumption constraints and security demands and satisfying high and reliable bit rates. ​​​This is expected to support a​​ wide variety of emerging applications (e.g., health monitoring, smart cities/buildings, underwater, UAV and IoT applications) as well as evaluation and experimentation in these environments (e.g., performance analysis, experimentation, epidemics and malware behavior, machine learning and artificial intelligence, edge computing).

This special issue focuses on state-of-the-art developments regarding high data rate communication among diverse devices (e.g., terahertz, millimeter wave, powerline and D2D communications, etc.) and it is dedicated to future networks as they will emerge in the new decade (e.g. beyond 5G).​ 

Keyw​​​ords
