Editorial Issue on 'Information Theoretic Foundations of Future Communication Systems'

Övrig text i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2022

Information theory, starting with Shannon’s groundbreaking work, has fundamentally shaped the way communication systems are designed and operated. Information theoretic principles form the underpinnings of modern communication networks. This issue explores how new advances in information theory can impact future communication systems. Several papers address issues at the heart of next generation wireless and wired networks: Multiple access, including access by a massive number of devices, multi-hop, large antenna arrays, communication security, and timeliness of information. Others consider new applications such as joint communication and sensing, communication for learning and inference, wireless imaging, and new storage mediums such as DNA, thereby providing the information theoretic foundations of modalities beyond human-to-human communications.
