Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the increasing evolution of the Internet-of-Things (IoTs) has led to an upsurge in diversified applications with heterogeneous services, especially those supported by artificial intelligence (AI). The new networking paradigms and system architectures will revolutionize current 5G networks and evolve from “connected things” to “connected intelligence”, supporting ubiquitous AI services that provide sustainability and competitiveness. This transformation of network architectures and quality-of-service (QoS) requirements provides new challenges to achieving high data rates, security, sustainability, and latency in the design of 5G networks. This Special Issue will present new challenges with respect to the theoretical foundations and practical implementation of 5G communication networks and their evolution. Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit their original manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to:
- Challenges in cross-layer design with high data rates and massive, secure, or high mobility URLLC for 5G networks;
- Challenges in designing the next generation of access technologies;
- Performance analysis and evaluation of 5G networks;
- Challenges in new network architectures for URLLC services;
- Performance optimization for topological enhancements (e.g., relays, repeaters, UAVs, massive MIMO);
- Low-complexity phase shift design for reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) in 5G networks;
- Challenges in integrated sensing and communication for 5G networks;
- Challenges in real-world deployments, experiments, prototypes, and testbeds for 5G;
- AI/ML for 5G networks;
- Challenges in mobile edge computing for intelligent and fast responses of 5G;
- Challenge in vehicular fog computing for efficient communication in 5G-based autonomous vehicles;
- Challenges in dynamic resource allocation in edge-based 5G networks;
- Challenges in intelligent resource orchestration for 5G networks;
- Challenges in information centric distributed edge learning for 5G networks;
- Challenges in microservice-centric communication protocols for 5G networks.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
