Description
The next generation of communications networks such as Internet of Things, cellular networks and vehicular ad hoc networks, are considered as complex systems due to the ever-increasing number of technologies and connected devices. Large scale deployment of these complex systems requires enabling 5G and beyond technologies to facilitate autonomous operations by providing superior communication services and hyper-connectivity for urban and rural applications equally.In this Special Issue, we are particularly interested in 5G and beyond enabled technologies for large scale complex IoT networks and emerging vertical networks such as transportation, health, smart grid, and smart city, connecting the unconnected systems, supporting the centralized or distributed intelligent decision making in these complex systems, defining new applications and solutions with an IoT prototype and benchmarking the performance with reference to system and consumer requirements.
At the time of organisation of this special issue, the countries around the world have been affected by Covid-19 pandemic. Role of wireless communication technologies has become more important than ever before to respond to the pandemic and facilitate the economies, businesses and citizens. We welcome contributions on 5G technologies and their use case, applications and services to fight with pandemic situation.
