In the past few decades, wireless communications and networking (WCN) have become the need of modern civilized human society. With the practical applications of the concept of communication and making long distances short, novel practical networking, technologies are ensuring connecting all around the globe and beyond. Such broad range of technologies include cellular networks (5G and beyond to 6G), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), ad-hoc networks, WiMAX, metaverse networking etc. Continues expanding applications of the WCN lead to the invention of novel technologies governing new paradigms of research and development. The demand for new applications also bring complex technical challenges that require novel solutions. Among those solutions, artificial intelligence (AI) based networking solutions introduce autonomous and intelligent decision making that further enhances the communicating systems performance. In addition to the WCN research topics, a great number of individuals, researchers, academics are emphasizing new novel ideas and improving the performance of next generation of networking paradigms including Future Internet architectures, software defined networks (SDNs), Network Virtualization. This special track aims to bring together researchers, academics, individuals working on selected areas of wireless communications and networking to share their new ideas, latest findings, and results.
