Editorial: It is predicted that 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020, and the number of mobile-connected devices will exceed 11.5 billion by 2019. These growth numbers are tremendous and will further increase over next decades, which will certainly pose a huge traffic demand for ubiquitous communications. It has been projected that the total volume of data traffic will nearly triple between 2016 and 2021, of which about 75% will originate from non-PC devices and about 42% of all connections will be for M2M communication between over 10 billion smart objects. Driven by the rapid growth of mobile Internet, fifth generation (5G) wireless networks are expected to provide 1000-fold higher data throughput by the year 2030 compared to what we experience today. Predictions evidently indicate the skyrocketing demand on data traffic and applications for machine type communication such as self-driving vehicles, healthcare monitoring, smart cities and factories, and artificial intelligence-based personalized assistants along with traditional human-centric communications. Moreover, due to the fast development of the Internet of Things (IoT), beyond 5G wireless networks need to support massive connectivity for a very large number of devices such as sensors, actuators, computer devices, vehicles, and machines with very heterogeneous quality of service requirements. Current wireless radio access techniques are not capable of delivering these new applications and may pose a much higher security risk than the WiFi and 4G networks did. Innovative technologies are a must to add more capacity to mobile networks. In addition, in order to better support the Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, many technical

challenges need to be resolve in 5G and beyond including network architectures, network resource allocation schemes, and advanced signal processing techniques, etc. Recently, deep learning and AI techniques have been considered as promising approaches to unleash the full potential of beyond 5G networks. This special issue will provide a forum for the latest research, innovations, and applications of emerging wireless communications and networks for 5G and beyond, which includes (but are not restricted to) the following topics: Advanced network architecture design for IoT towards 5G; New air interface design for 5G (New Radio (NR)); Energyefficiency in 5G for IoT applications. 5G wireless heterogeneous networks: design and optimization; Mobility management of 5G networks for IoT applications; 5G wireless communications and networks for surveillance and management; 5G Cognitive networks and IoT; Ultra-reliable and low latency communication
