Preface
Mobile communications have been instrumental in transforming our contemporary societies in the past decades. From the first-generation (1G) of analogue mobile phone system to the newest commercial fourth-generation (4G) long-term evolution (LTE) networks deployed widely across the global, mobile communications have fundamentally changed the ways as to how humans in the modern society access, exchange, and share information with each other. Currently, we are at an era of mobile Internet with explosive big data. The growing demand for mobile data traffic and the proliferation of applications requiring high data rates have raised a significant interest in the definition of new standards in the mobile market. This calls for next-generation mobile communication systems, which should have to respond to an avalanche of traffic, an explosion in the number of connected devices, and the large diversity of use cases and requirements. Against the above backdrop, the fifth-generation (5G) mobile communications are fast emergin
