There is an ever-increasing demand for higher data traffic volume to be handled in wireless networks. Data-intensive applications such as high-resolution video and 3-D experience are emerging fast, and a variety and a high number of new devices with extended functionalities, sensing capabilities, and intelligence are introduced and adopted. As a consequence, next-generation wireless networks need to be able to provide data rates in the order of Terabit per second (Tb/s) with high reliability and possibly low latency.
