This Best Readings is on the interdisciplinary field of molecular communication. It targets interested readers in communications engineering, the natural sciences, and medicine.
Our main objective of this Best Readings collection is to suggest a comprehensive list of references that can aid a wide spectrum of researchers, from novices to experts in the field, with a focus on mega constellation satellite communications and networking.
This collection of Best Readings provides a panorama of ISAC, including recent advances and applications in information theory, signal processing, mobile computing, aerospace and electronic systems, and vehicular technology/intelligent transportation systems. To this end, the reading list includes four special issues and links to four web-based resources that are all dedicated to ISAC. The overview section aims to provide a systemic view for newcomers. The Best Readings then organizes the most active topics within this field into twelve categories, including fundamental theory, physical layer designs, spectrum sharing solutions, networking technologies, security aspects, applications, and demonstrations. The guest editors hope that this list will provide valuable references for all researchers working in the area of ISAC.
Best Readings in Communications in Wireless Networked Control
Wireless networked control has attracted a lot of attention from both academia and industry in the past two decades, and has become a hot topic in recent years, mainly driven by mission-critical Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications requiring closed-loop control, such as intelligent transportation, Tele-surgery, industry automation, power systems automation, and power electronics control. Specifically, a wireless networked control system (WNCS) is a spatially distributed control system consisting of networked sensors, actuators and a controller. The wireless sensors measure and report the physical process states of interest, the remote controller collects the sensors’ measurements and generates control signals, and the wireless actuators receive the control signals and control the processes. Due to its spatially distributed nature, reliable, dynamic and secure wireless communications among sensor, contro
