Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Several converging trends are reshaping wireless networks and mobile computing systems: connectivity across terrestrial, satellite, and dense edge infrastructures is becoming increasingly heterogeneous. The migration of computation from centralized clouds to an edge–cloud continuum and the growing use of AI support real-time control, learning, and service adaptation. The recent literature highlights the importance of efficient task offloading in mobile edge computing, resource orchestration across the edge–cloud continuum, federated edge learning, privacy-preserving edge intelligence, deep reinforcement learning for dynamic spectrum allocation, and terahertz communications for ultra-high-speed 6G-class systems. At the same time, practical deployments must cope with mobility, stringent latency requirements, imperfect channel state information, and the security/privacy risks introduced by open wireless media, distributed training, and resource-constrained IoT devices.
This Special Issue aims to collect timely contributions on wireless networks and mobile computing with a strong emphasis on cross-layer, end-to-end design. We welcome original research articles and surveys that advance theory, algorithm design, systems integration, and experimental validation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- AI-enabled task offloading in mobile edge computing;
- Resource orchestration across the edge–cloud continuum in mobile systems;
- Latency-aware edge computing for real-time applications;
- Federated edge learning for distributed mobile networks;
- Mobility-aware IoT network management;
- Lightweight security protocols for mobile and IoT devices;
- Privacy-preserving mobile edge computing;
- Deep reinforcement learning for dynamic spectrum allocation;
- Terahertz communication for ultra-high-speed mobile networks.

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. Electronics 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.
