Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent years have disclosed a tremendous increase in interest in smart wireless applications, such as intelligent transportation systems, digital healthcare, and Industry 4.0, among others, from both academia and industry. The end-devices of these applications generate a significant amount of data. Furthermore, there are many scenarios where it is not possible to mathematically model mobile network functions. To address such limitations, one can use machine learning to model mobile network functions for making them smarter. Machine learning will use the data generated by mobile networks for training and thus improve their performance. Machine learning can be divided mainly into two categories, centralized machine learning and federated learning. Centralized machine learning relies on training of the machine learning model at a third-party centralized location, whereas federated learning enables on-device machine learning without the need to migrate the device’s data to the centralized server. Centralized machine learning requires the migration of device data to the centralized server, and this raises privacy concerns. Meanwhile, federated learning faces data heterogeneity issues. The purpose of this SI is to cover both centralized machine learning and federated learning for wireless systems. Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Federated-learning-based smart applications (e.g., healthcare, intelligent transportation systems);
- Communication efficient federated learning models;
- Incentive mechanism for federated learning;
- Personalized federated learning;
- Deep-learning-based applications;
- Applications of centralized and federated learning in optimization of wireless systems, including radio resources management, caching, edge computing resource management;
- Privacy-aware design for machine learning;
- Robust architecture for federated learning.

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.
