Wireless communication has been growing significantly in recent years with the development of communications systems, network architecture and sensors. Wireless systems will play important role in future internet and information systems. . Intense research in wireless systems includes developments in many application areas such as medical, agriculture, and military. This special issue on advances in wireless systems presents research trends and recent developments in the areas of multi-antenna sensing system, radio power optimization, reliable routing protocols, digital filter design, and mobile ad hoc networks.
The special issue invited papers from around the world which prompted a significant number of submissions. In addition, a selected number of authors were invited from the IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology held on December 23-25, 2010 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. We received a total of thirteen submissions which went through rigorous review process by the experts in the field. Seven papers are finally selected for publication to appear in the special issue of the journal. The authors represent academic and/or research institutions from Bangladesh, China, India, Thailand, and United Kingdom.
