1 Editorial The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered to be one of the most critical network forms that the next generation wireless network must support, which will increasingly affect human life and work. Network technology is one of the core technologies of the Internet of Things since it is responsible for connecting multiple devices of the Internet of Things efficiently to achieve the purpose of information transmission, data processing and resource sharing. In recent years, academia has proposed many valuable protocols, algorithms and solutions for the networking technology of Internet of Things, while industry and standardization organizations (such as 3GPP and IEEE) are also accelerating the standardization process of the Internet of Things. At present, the Internet of Things is expanding to the fields of vehicle network, smart city, smart home, space network and so on. In order to cope with the rapid development of application scenarios and business service requirements, Internet of Things networking needs to explore and introduce a series of emerging research results. Therefore, the special issue focuses on the emerging networking technologies for the next generation IoT. This special issue features 12 selected papers with high quality. The first article, “Survey on wireless networks coexistence: resource sharing in the 5G era”, faced to the coexistence of various radio access technologies in the 5G era. The authors surveyed the existing and upcoming standards and

investigated the access layer solutions for unlicensed bands. Furthermore, resource sharing mechanism was analyzed in this paper. WLAN is an important network type for IoT. The second article titled “Survey and Perspective on Extremely High Throughput (EHT) WLAN — IEEE 802.11be” focused on the next generation WLAN standard: IEEE 802.11be, achieving extremely high throughput (EHT) as its core technical objective. The target scenario, technical objective, standardization process, key technologies including multi-band operation, multi-AP coordination, enhanced link reliability, and latency & jitter guarantee were surveyed and analyzed. The authors also provided some insights for the next generation WLAN. In the next article with the title “Joint pyramid feature representation network for vehicle re-identification”, the authors proposed a joint pyramid feature representation network named JPFRN for vehicle re-identification (Re-ID). JPFRN integrated the vehicle features with different resolutions and different degrees of semantic information. In this case, it achieved the purpose of multi-r
