Wireless and mobile communications are widely used in daily life. Consequently, wireless transmission technologies should support a substantial number of users and improve the quality of services, such as high transmission rate, delay reduction, mitigation of fading and interference, large network capacity, high energy efficiency, and so on. Many wireless technologies based on larger bandwidths and spectrum with mm-wave, improved small cells, massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), and new modulation techniques, are proposed to improve the quality of wireless communications. For that purpose, a comprehensive next-generation wireless system performance analysis is necessary.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for scientists, researchers, as well as engineers to discuss the newest achievements in applied mathematical models and methods in designing new generation wireless telecommunication systems. We especially welcome submissions focussing on mathematical methods determining performance measures of new generation wireless systems, models of appropriate path loss made with signal strength prediction. Moreover, submissions including co-channel interference with the use of directional and beam-forming antenna arrays are encouraged. Analytical and numerical methods for modelling, analysis, and optimization of structures, components, devices, and systems in wireless technologies and applications can also be included in submissions.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Modelling and simulation of fading channels in next-generation wireless systems
• Methods to mitigate noise, interference, and fading in next-generation wireless systems
• Channel characterization of next-generation wireless systems
• Channel capacity of next-generation wireless systems
• Massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems for new generation networks
• Modelling, simulation and planning of state-of-the-art mobile and wireless networks
• Electromagnetic and multiphysics modelling, simulation, and design for microwave antennas and propagation
• Modelling of modern traffic sources in next-generation wireless systems
• Tools for analytical modelling and dimensioning of next-generation wireless systems
• Performance evaluation of next-generation wireless systems
• Resource management in next-generation wireless systems
