Index Modulation Techniques for Next-Generation Wireless Networks

IEEE Access Special Section Editorial: Index Modulation Techniques for Next-Generation Wireless Networks

Index modulation (IM) techniques appear as competitive candidates for next-generation (5G and beyond) wireless networks due to the attractive advantages they offer in terms of spectral and energy efficiency as well as hardware simplicity. IM is a highly spectrumand energyefficient yet simple digital modulation technique, which utilizes the indices of the building blocks of the corresponding com...

Machine Intelligence Techniques for Next-Generation Context-Aware Wireless Networks

The next generation wireless networks (i.e. 5G and beyond), which would be extremely dynamic and complex due to the ultra-dense deployment of heterogeneous networks (HetNets), poses many critical challenges for network planning, operation, management and troubleshooting. At the same time, generation and consumption of wireless data are becoming increasingly distributed with ongoing paradigm shi...

Routing Hole Handling Techniques for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Review

A Wireless Sensor Network consists of several tiny devices which have the capability to sense and compute the environmental phenomenon. These sensor nodes are deployed in remote areas without any physical protections. A Wireless Sensor Network can have various types of anomalies due to some random deployment of nodes, obstruction and physical destructions. These anomalies can diminish the sensi...
