Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As artificial intelligence (AI) use becomes more prevalent in wireless applications, data-driven and computing-intensive services emerge, involving much higher quality-of-service (QoS) requirements for data rate, latency, and connectivity. To provide optimal user experiences in diverse application scenarios, continuous evolution from transmission techniques to network architectures and beyond 5G (B5G)/6G communication systems is necessary, a subject which has garned significant interest from both academia and the industry.
The 3rd Generation Partner Project—Release 18 (3GPP-R18) is another topic of recent interest. It has triggered the development of 5G-A systems and the explorative study of 6G systems, necessitating a platform for the exchange of knowledge between academia and the industry, bridge the gap between these two institutions, and has received support from many renowned international institutions and experts.
This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in fundamental theory, key techniques, and the standardization process for B5G/6G communication systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Information, computation, and learning theory concerning B5G/6G communication systems.
- Network architecture for B5G/6G communication systems.
- Network intelligence for B5G/6G communication systems.
- Advanced physical-layer signal processing techniques, and air interface design for B5G/6G communication systems.
- Radio resource management for B5G/6G communication systems.
- Integration of communication, computation, and sensing for B5G/6G communication systems.
- Digital economy considering B5G/6G communication systems.
- Recent advances in standardization in B5G/6G communication systems.
- Advanced evaluation tool development and data set construction for B5G/6G communication systems.
- Security and privacy in B5G/6G communication systems.
- Prototype, demo, test-bed, and proof-of-concept for 6G systems.

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.
