Advanced Technologies in Wireless Internet and Communications Networks (Editorial for WICON 2011 Special Issue)

摘要

Over the last two decades, wireless internet and communications networks have experienced an explosive growth in both the diversity of the techniques and its range of applications. Besides the traditional mobile communications services, current mobile communications networks can also provide internet access services. In order to provide higher data transmission rate, the 4th generation mobile communications systems, i.e., IMT-Advanced, have been developed and many advanced technologies, such as MIMO and OFDM, have been applied. The constantly developing wireless communications technologies also have enabled the extensive deployment of distributed wireless networks, such as the Ad Hoc networks.
