Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 5G/6G generation of cellular communications is one of the key enabling technologies of current and future information society. 5G/B5G/6G communication network service features high-demand end-to-end performance, ultra-high capacity, low power consumption, supports many users, massive machine type communication, and ultra-reliable low-latency communication for next-generation networks. To meet these requirements, a large number of small cells need to be deployed in 5G/B5G/6G networks to provide dense and wide coverage, supported by centralized radio access network architecture. As a result, research for innovative, spectral and energy-efficient, and yet cost-effective solutions for future 5G/B5G/6G networks is vital to improve the performance of next-generation communication networks.
In this Special Issue, authors are invited to submit original works in a Special Issue entitled “Design, Simulation, Integration, and Measurement Technologies of 5G/B5G/6G”. This Special Issue aims to attract novel contributions covering topics of interest which include, but are not limited to, the following areas: network architecture design and performance optimization, radio-over-fiber and photonic-assisted wireless systems, enhanced radio access technologies, advanced sensor networks, etc.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
