The current trend in telecommunications market is towards connecting all the everyday useful objects to the Internet. In this direction, Internet of Things (IoT) is receiving significant attention from industries
Cellular technologies have evolved over time starting from the first generation (1G) to the current fourth generation (4G) with the objective of improving several factors such as spectral efficiency, capacity,
Several enabling technologies such as ultra-densification, millimetre wave communications, massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), full duplex technology, and dynamic spectrum access are being investigated in industrial and academic communities
The existing and new wireless technologies, such as smart phones, tablets, and IoT apps are rapidly consuming radio spectrum. The traditional regulation of spectrum requires a fundamental reform in order
Dynamic spectrum sharing is regarded as an emerging technique for next generation wireless systems, where unlicensed secondary users opportunistically access RF channels, which are not licensed to them but to
Smart grid system assists in transforming the traditional energy industry in terms of reliability, performance, and manageability through bi-directional information transfer between smart grid components. According to National Institute of
In cognitive radio networks, unlicensed secondary users are expected to sense RF spectrum to find idle bands and access those idle bands without creating any harmful interference to licensed primary
Public safety communication (PSC) is extremely vital during Emergency situations to coordinate and communicate effectively among emergency responders to save lives and to avoid confusion at the scene. Despite the
The growth of wireless subscriptions is increasing exponentially with increasing mobile devices for Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet-of-Things applications. Wireless network virtualization is envisioned to support billions of devices for wireless
