With the advance development of next generation mobile systems, for example, 3GPP long-term evolution (LTE), the deployment of such systems plays an important role to increase and maximize the data rate exchange and user coverage. Therefore, small cell and large-scale multiple-antenna system deployments have attracted enormous attentions from both academia and industry. The base station antennas naturally become the key to deploy either of these systems. A typical base station has several transceivers allowing operation in several different frequencies and different directions of the cell in the system. Several research works are being conducted on various antennas used in base station for UHF/VHF, CDMA, GSM, 3G, 4G, and futuristic 5G. A comprehensive passive or active antenna system that meets the standard requirements in terms of the beamforming, gain, polarization, and patterns for effective enhancement of performance is required. This call for papers aims to have papers with feasible and great potential antenna designs for the base station in a small cell (e.g., a femtocell) or large-scale multiple-antenna systems. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Multiband and broadband antennas
• Reconfigurable antennas
• Multisystem array antennas
• High directivity beamforming antennas
• Flexible compact antennas
• Bendable/reconfigurable array antennas
• Ultrawideband antennas
• Smart and semismart antenna design
• Low profile compact antennas
• Circular polarized and dual polarized antennas
• Multibeam adaptive base station antennas
• Low mutual coupling effect array antennas
• Large-scale antenna arrays
• MIMO base station antenna array
