Background: The special issue will focus on the exploration and exposure of recent wireless and mobile broadband technologies, such as 5G/B5G, Cloud RAN (Radio Access Networks), SDN (Software Defined Networks), and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC). Additionally, the wireless and mobile broadband applications, such as eMBB (enhanced mobile Broadband), uRLLC, (ultra-reliable low latency communications), and mMTC (massive machine-type communications) are worthy of studying.

Whioce Publishing Pte Ltd  and the Editor-in-chief invite all authors  to submit their  manuscripts to  our  newly launched  journal, Wireless Communication Technology, for peer review.

The biggest Wi-Fi security update in 14 years was recently unveiled by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) security certificate protocol provides some much-needed updates to the WPA2 protocol introduced in 2004. Rather than a wholesale reworking of Wi-Fi security, WPA3 is focused on bringing new techniques to bear against the cracks that have begun to show in WPA2.

The Wi-Fi Alliance also announced two additional, separate certification protocols alongside WPA3. The Enhanced Open and Easy Connect protocols are not dependent on WPA3, but they do improve security for specific types of networks and certain situations.

The future of wireless communication is 5G. 5G wireless technology promises a rich, reliable, and hyperconnected world. But from new bands to wider bandwidth and new beamforming technology, 5G New Radio (NR) presents significant design and test challenges.
