Abstract

The papers in this special section focus on heterogeneous communication networks. These networks, consisting of terrestrial mobile networks, satellite networks, IoT, WiFi, and etc., is a promising technique to meet the challenges in future mobile communications. Heterogeneous network resources are expected to cooperate with each other to support more efficient data transmissions and also provide more reliable services. However, current network architectures cannot efficiently exploit the benefit of heterogeneous wireless communication networks. Considering the deficiency in existing wireless networks nowadays, the most substantial amount of future system performance gains will be obtained by means of heterogeneous network infrastructure densification. Therefore, the heterogeneous communication networks should be deeply investigated to realize the full benefits of each of them.
