About the Journal

The AUN journal for Engineering & Technology aims to disseminate cutting-edge research and development in engineering & technology which are the driving force behind the designs, buildings and innovations for sustainable development. Its catalyst for development cutting across designing new ideas in robotics, Artificial Intelligent (AI), renewable energy, converting raw materials into useful products and effective design & construction. The evolution towards 5G is considered to be the convergence of Internet services with legacy mobile networking standards, leading to what is commonly referred to as the ‘mobile Internet’ over Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets), with very high connectivity speeds. 5G mobile communication networks will require a major paradigm shift to satisfy the increasing demand for higher data rates, lower network latencies, better energy efficiency, and reliable ubiquitous connectivity. The ever-increasing proliferation of smart devices, new emerging multimedia applications, together with an exponential rise in wireless data (multimedia) demand and usage is already creating a significant burden on existing cellular networks. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly clear from new emerging services and technological trends that the future is heading towards a digital world, where not only end-users but devices or things will be interconnected through a wireless internet. This will give rise to new business models based on smart applications, that will put in place new design requirements for next-generation, the so-called 5G era, that includes energy and cost-per-bit reduction, service ubiquity, and high-speed connectivity as desirable traits.

The journal targets some high quality research and practical case studies in the very active field of Engineering & Technology, computational models for big data and beyond that green networking for internet of everything (IoE) applications to provide design recommendations for tomorrow’s Engineering, Technology and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). We aim to harness the fragmented views on 5GB mobile communications to paint a more focused technology roadmap, putting in place a clear set of challenges, requirements and proposals to address the Engineering and Technology challenges.
