Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Eng, focused on "Signal Processing Challenges and Solutions in Mobile Communications". The continuous evolution of mobile networks, driven by the rollout of 5G and the burgeoning research into 6G, is constantly pushing the boundaries of wireless technology. These advancements bring forth a host of demanding challenges, particularly in the realm of signal processing, which is the cornerstone for achieving higher data rates, lower latency, massive connectivity, and superior energy and spectral efficiency.
This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research that addresses the critical signal processing needs for current and future mobile communication systems. We welcome original contributions on new algorithms, innovative architectures, and practical implementations that tackle issues across various technologies. Key areas of interest include complex multi-antenna systems (such as Massive MIMO), the emerging field of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) and large intelligent surfaces (LISs), interference management, channel estimation, resource allocation, and the integration of machine learning/AI for network optimization. By compiling high-quality theoretical and applied papers, this Issue will serve as a vital reference, charting the path towards the next generation of robust, secure, and ubiquitous mobile communications. We look forward to receiving your valuable manuscripts and fostering a fruitful exchange of ideas.
Dr. Mário Silva

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. Eng 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 1400 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.
