Special Session: Recent Advanced Technologies in B5G/6G

Fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks have been rolled out worldwide. However, the current 5G still cannot meet many demands of future wireless systems such as exceptionally high connectivity, ultra-low latencies, super-dense network, high security, and high energy efficiency.

 

In addition, the historical evolution of mobile networks has witnessed a new generation about every decade. Therefore, now is the right time to investigate advanced technologies beyond 5G (B5G) and toward 6G wireless communication systems. It has been envisioned that integrating sensing, new multi-access techniques, holographic massive MIMO, cell-free massive MIMO, large intelligent surfaces, THz communications, machine learning and artificial intelligence-based techniques are potential technologies for B5G/6G. These are very new technologies where a number of issues and questions still need to be tackled before rolling out them into practice. The convergence of these advanced techniques will potentially pave the way for the evolution B5G/6G systems.

This special issue aims to bring together academic and industrial researchers to explore recent advances in B5G/6G wireless networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Sensing
  • New multi-access and modulation techniques
  • Holographic massive MIMO 
  • Cell-free massive MIMO 
  • Large intelligent surfaces 
  • THz communications
  • Quantum communications and networks 
  • Network slicing and virtualization 
  • Software-defined networking and network function virtualization
  • Network intelligence and automation 
  • Edge intelligence and federated learning 
  • Cross-layer optimization and network coding 
  • Physical layer security and privacy-preserving techniques 
  • Network economics and game theory
