Mobile Communications And Networks [Series Editorial]

With the evolution of mobile communications, we are seeing expanding scopes and an increasing number of topics within the mobile technology area. It is important to address different topics, so that the technology remains relevant and continues meeting the advancing needs in a consistent manner. This issue of the Mobile Communications and Networks Series explores such an expansion, with a few topics complementing each other. On one hand, it discusses new techniques of spectrum management to address the continued issue of spectrum scarcity. On the other hand, it also discusses the use cases and applications in the industry, in terms of industrial mid-end applications. One networking and a couple of radio topics also came under focus in the issue in terms of federated machine learning at the network edge, challenges of beam management in millimeter Wave, and predictor antennae for connecting multiple devices in a high-speed vehicle. Some of these topics go beyond 5G to lay the foundation for 6G.
