Wireless Communications and Edge Computing in 6G
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soon, 6G wireless communications will be the new standard, providing not only huge bitrates (terabits per second) and lower latency (less than 1 ms), but also enabling a “hyper-connected” paradigm that will connect users and things. Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play a major role within 6G, and thus more computation and communication resources will be consumed; their optimization is a must. There are an increasing number of new applications such as pervasive edge intelligence, ultra-massive machine-type communications, extremely reliable ultra low-latency communications, holographic telepresence, eHealth and Parkinson's disease applications, pervasive connectivity in smart environments, UAV, autonomous driving, Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, industry 4.0 and massive robotics, massive unmanned mobility in three dimensions, and augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Many future data-intensive applications and services such as pervasive edge intelligence, holographic rendering, high-precision manufacturing, ultra-massive machine-type communications, and MR-based gaming are expected to demand a higher data rate (+1 Tbps) and extremely low delay (0.1 ms).
The objective of this Topic is to define the framework of wireless communications and edge computing in 6G, its services, and breakthrough technologies. We are soliciting original contributions that have not been previously published and are not currently under consideration by any other journals. Particular emphasis is placed on radical new concepts and ideas. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
Dr. Wencheng Lai
Prof. Dr. Han-Chieh Chao
Prof. Dr. Adam W. Skorek
Dr. Małgorzata Kujawska
Prof. Dr. Lidia Dobrescu
Prof. Dr. Sheng-Lyang Jang

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
