Advancements in QoS/QoE for Future Networks and Their Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In future networks, including beyond 5G/6G networks, we expect various kinds of novel applications, such as holographic type communications, tactile internet for remote operations, and digital twins, which have a wide variety of requirements (e.g., ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low latency, ultra-high reliability, and ultra-high security). It is challenging for the conventional QoS/QoE technologies to fully satisfy the requirements of the networks and applications. Therefore, we need to study new technologies of QoS/QoE to satisfy these requirements. For example, to provide high QoS/QoE regardless of many factors, such as network environments, media/application type, and human tastes, we need to apply AI technology to QoS/QoE. This Special Issue focuses on recent advancements in QoS/QoE technologies for future networks and their applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
