Series Editorial: Mobile Communications and Networks

Abstract

The evolution of mobile communication is taking 5G forward to achieve its target metrics, and at the same time, providing a sense of what would be possible with 6G. The evolution is enabled by both the advancements of the existing technology areas and the emergence of newer areas. This issue of the Mobile Communications and Networks Series presents seven different articles to the readers covering both emerging and existing areas. For example, the issue covers emerging topics like reconfigurable intelligent surface and edge intelligence. Similarly, advancements of a few existing topics are also covered, like near field communication for large-scale antenna array, network performance, security aspects of HTTP/2 in 5G service-based architecture, and open radio access network (O-RAN)-enabled heterogenous networks for enhanced video service. The intention is to meet the needs of wider interest groups with the outcome of concurrent research on mobile communication taking place all over the world.
