<br/><br/> Technologies and solutions for mobile networks continuously evolve with new features bringing important improvements in terms of e.g., performance, coverage, and operational efficiency. At the same time, they may imply new challenges, some of them are addressed by the articles selected for this issue of the Mobile Communications and Networks series, including: the coexistence between a cell-free system with the existing cellular system; the increased signaling delay for the control plane procedures when satellites are integrated in radio access networks; how to guarantee transparency, monitorability and accountability in case of resource and infrastructure sharing; and information security in the context of integrated sensing and communication.
