01About This Special Issue
The exponential growth in mobile data traffic – typical estimates give an approximately 1000x increase over the next decade – requires a proportional response from the world’s wireless communication researchers. Based on the Internet Protocol architecture of 4G communication systems, unprecedented numbers of smart and heterogeneous wireless devices will be accessing future 5G mobile and wireless communication systems with a continuing growth of Internet traffic. Therefore, compared with 4G communication systems, significantly higher wireless transmission rates are expected in 5G communication systems. Moreover, energy efficiency concepts will be fully integrated into future wireless communication systems to protect the environment.The goal of this special issue is to publish a collection of non-incremental research papers that collectively provide insight into what a 5G wireless communication system might look like. In particular, this journal solicits high-quality original research papers on aspects of the air interface for future wireless communication systems.02Meet the Guest Editors

A Novel High Spectral Efficiency Waveform Coding-OVTDM
Issue: Volume 2, Issue 4-1, December 2014Pages: 11-26Received: 7 October 2014Accepted: 29 November 2014Published: 27 December 2014Abstract: Different from other Coding, based on the Overlapped Multiplexing Principle discovered by author， a novel OVTDM (Overlapped Time Division Multiplexing) Waveform Coding is proposed. Instead of the encoding matrix and mapped signal constellation, any engineering sense band-limited Multiplexing Waveform can be employed. By its data weighted shift over... Show More -
Implementation Aspects in DFT Modulated Filter Bank Transceivers for Cognitive Radio
Issue: Volume 2, Issue 4-1, December 2014Pages: 1-10Received: 12 September 2014Accepted: 4 November 2014Published: 18 November 2014Abstract: Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) modulated filter banks (FBs) are considered as strong tools used to implement both dynamic spectrum access and spectrum sensing in cognitive radio (CR) systems. High time-frequency (TF) resolution for spectral estimation and effective spectrum access with low complexity transceivers are the basic objectives in CR sy... Show More
