Special Issue on Signal Processing for the 5G Revolution
Cellular communication systems are continuing to incorporate advanced
signal processing techniques. Third generation cellular systems are
already widely deployed and are being followed by fourth generation (4G)
systems. Since 4G cellular technology development is considered to have
concluded in 2011, the attention of the research community is shifting
towards what will be the next set of innovations in wireless
communication technologies which we will refer to collectively as 5G
(fifth generation technologies). Given a historical 10-year cycle for
every generation of cellular advancement, it is expected that networks
with 5G technologies will be deployed around 2020. While 4G standards
were designed to meet requirements issued by the International
Telecommunications Union-Radio, no definition for 5G is available
presently. Experts vary in opinion whether the next generation of
cellular networks will continue to enhance (peak) service rates further,
or focus on spectral efficiency enhancements, or move to newer metrics
such as energy efficiency, or even define new metrics around service
quality experience. There is also the possibility that 5G will enable
digital sensing, communication, and processing capabilities to be
ubiquitously embedded into everyday objects, turning them into the
Internet of Things (IoT, or machine-to-machine, M2M). In this new
paradigm, smart devices will collect data, relay the information or
context to each another, and process the information collaboratively over
the 5G cellular networks. No matter what the eventual metric or system,
it is certain that signal processing will play an important role in the
features that define 5G.
This special issue is to present recent advances in signal processing for
communication with an emphasis on signal processing techniques that may
be relevant for emerging 5G cellular systems. Submissions of
comprehensive overviews of methodological advances are encouraged, as
well as more application-oriented contributions. Original papers will
focus on potentially disruptive technologies that may form the core of 5G
systems, as well as established techniques found in 4G systems.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Physical-layer issues in 5G systems
* Higher-layer issues in 5G systems
* Interference coordination, avoidance, and mitigation for 5G systems
* Self organizing networks and system optimization for 5G systems
* Cellular and new network architectures
* Machine-to-Machine technologies in 5G systems
* Millimeter wave MIMO, full dimension MIMO, and massive MIMO
* Full Duplex Communication in 5G systems
* Novel features in 5G systems with an emphasis in signal processing
* Applications in 5G systems with advanced signal processing approaches
Submission Process
The Special Issue seeks to offer broad coverage of the field including
most recent developments in both theory and applications. Submissions of
comprehensive overviews of methodological advances are strongly
encouraged, as well as papers dealing with new and emerging applications.
All submissions will be peer reviewed according to the IEEE and Signal
Processing Society guidelines. Submitted articles should not have been
published or be under review elsewhere. Manuscripts should be submitted
online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sps-ieee using the Manuscript
Central interface, see
