Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks have been key enablers for information societies over the last few years. Now, the sixth generation (6G) of wireless networks is under development, and the research community is preparing for the intelligent information societies of 2030 and beyond, targeting even more ambitious performance targets, such as peak data rates from 1 Tb/s, enhanced spectrum and energy efficiency, and extremely low-latency communications. In this context, key technologies for this performance include mm-wave and THz communications, very large-scale antenna arrays (i.e., spatial modulation–MIMO), laser communications and visible-light communication (VLC), blockchain-based spectrum sharing, and artificial intelligence (AI)/deep machine learning (ML).

This Special Issue invites authors to submit original and innovative manuscripts on the design, development, testing, and evaluation of 6G-enabling solutions, including, but not limited to, the following: 6G-enabling technology-based protocols, architectures, and frameworks; AI/ML-based smart algorithms and access schemes; QoS/QoE provisioning methods; intelligent distributed collaboration platforms; new energy-harvesting technologies; and intelligent spectrum management using blockchains.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
