On the cover: In recent years, driven by the new round of scientific and technological revolution, the transportation industry is undergoing unprecedented and significant changes. Emerging transport vehicles include autonomous vehicle and flying car. Some innovative operational modes appear, like Mobility as a Service and shared mobility. Meanwhile, advanced informatics technology, such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things, is also joining the way to make a better traffic. All of the progress has facilitated the emergence of Advanced Urban Aerial Mobility, a new paradigm for future transportation. The system is based on providing high-quality services as its core and the principles of energy-saving and environmental protection, making urban travel more enjoyable. This common scene in science fiction is no longer far-reaching. |

Typical applications of SparkLink in different scenarios, including smart cars, intelligent manufacturing, smart terminals, and smart homes
Short-range wireless communications have been widely used in our daily life, but the pursuit of a better communication experience never stops, leading to the more stringent requirements of emerging applications. For example, remote control applications such as telesurgery require a delay of less than 1 ms. Industrial closed-loop control applications such as automatic assembly lines have a reliability requirement of at least 99.999%. These stringent requirements open up a new racetrack for the development of short-range wireless communication protocols.
