After many years of research activity devoted to the optimization of the physical layer of mobile radio networks, it appears that the focus is shifting in part towards system and applications level engineering and optimization, for an improved performance of wireless communications. In this field of research, new topics are currently being introduced in scientific publications. Most of them aim not only at incrementally improving current systems, but also at providing superior capacity, spectral efficiency and flexible operation to next generation wireless and mobile systems. This can be achieved, eg, by extending the system bandwidth and pushing up the transmission rate, by coordinating radio resources across adjacent cells for reduced interference in dense re-use cellular networks, by introducing ad-hoc network components to cellular, and by introducing smart antenna technology for spatial multiplex based transmissions.A representative set of system level related papers addressing these subjects is contained in this special issue, which has been assembled from a set of oral presentations made at the 13th European Wireless Conference, Paris, France, April 1–4, 2007. Based on the high scientific quality of the selected best papers, the Technical Program Committee of EW 2007 has invited the authors to develop extended versions of their original work. The content of the special issue is the result of this selection, after strict peer reviewing according to the rules of Annals of Telecommunications.
