The ever growing demand for multimedia services, high mobility, and global connectivity has resulted in recent years in an explosion of new technologies for wireless communication systems. All components of a wireless communication system ranging from digital modulation schemes over channel coding techniques up to higher layer protocols are influenced by the characteristics of the mobile radio channel. A thorough understanding of the mobile radio channel is therefore crucial for the development, performance optimization, and test of present as well as next generation mobile radio systems. This is the reason why exploring the mobile radio channel has always been a key research topic from the very beginning of mobile communications until today. Currently, the research on mobile fading channels involves a variety of challenging topics such as the modeling of car-to-car channels, MIMO channels, cooperative channels, and ultra wideband channels, only to name a few. The objective of this special issue is to identify upcoming trends in the fascinating world of mobile radio channels and to make recent research results readily comprehensible to a wide readership.
