Aim and Scope
The International Journal of Wireless and Ad Hoc Communications (IJWAC) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to publishing high-quality original research, reviews, and technical contributions in the field of wireless communications and ad hoc networking systems.
The journal aims to advance both theoretical foundations and practical applications in modern communication technologies. It provides a platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to disseminate innovative methodologies, analytical models, system architectures, and experimental studies that contribute to the development of next-generation wireless networks.
IJWAC welcomes contributions that address emerging challenges and opportunities in wireless and decentralized communication environments, including but not limited to mobile, distributed, and infrastructure-less networks. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary research that integrates communication theory, networking protocols, signal processing, and intelligent systems.
The journal publishes theoretical research introducing new concepts and models, applied research reporting experimental and real-world implementations, and survey articles that provide comprehensive insights into evolving research directions.
