The field of wireless communication systems is experiencing significant developments, driven by the need for more accurate and standardized channel models, improved simulation tools, and innovative communication protocols. Researchers are focusing on enhancing channel modeling techniques, including the development of more realistic user terminal antenna models and the incorporation of spatial non-stationarity effects. Additionally, there is a growing interest in optimizing communication parameters, such as spreading factor selection, to improve the reliability and efficiency of wireless networks. Noteworthy papers in this area include: Optimizing Spreading Factor Selection for Mobile LoRa Gateways Using Single-Channel Hardware, which proposes a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for mobile LoRa gateways, and Morph: ChirpTransformer-based Encoder-decoder Co-design for Reliable LoRa Communication, which enhances communication reliability while improving computation efficiency in extremely-low signal-to-noise ratio situations.
