Rate Splitting for Future Wireless Networks

Rate splitting (RS) and rate splitting multiple access (RSMA) have emerged as a promising and powerful multiple access, interference management, and multi-user strategy for next-generation wireless systems and networks. This Special Issue is entirely dedicated to the theory, design, optimization, and applications of RS and RSMA in various network configurations. It starts with a guest editor-authored tutorial paper [A1] that delineates the basic principles and applications of RS and RSMA. The tutorial paper is then followed by 17 technical papers.
