This Special Issue is devoted to reporting novel scientific ideas, approaches, results, and (prototype) solutions/applications on communication in UAV swarms and with ground entities. The particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 
- Communication technologies (e.g., WLANs, 4G/5G cellular systems, WANs, delay-tolerant networks) 
- Communication architectures (e.g., communication protocols, routing, operating systems, software frameworks, libraries) 
- Communication optimization, decision, and learning models (e.g., when to communicate what to whom) 
- Interaction of communication with flight mission (e.g., swarm movement, formation, coordination, collaboration, autonomous behaviour) 
- Novel networking concepts for UAV swarm communication (including but not limited to software-defined radio and networking (SDR/SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), (multi-access) edge computing (MEC), information-centric networking (ICN)) 
- Energy consumption and energy-efficient communication 
- Security of communication 
- Communication performance evaluation 
- Experimental and benchmark results on UAV swarm communication for novel applications (e.g., from prototypes, test beds, demonstrations, measurement campaigns)
