Telecommunication Networks

Dear Colleagues,

Telecommunication networks have for many years been important elements of backbone and access networks. The main objective of this Special Issue is to report recent developments in architectures, protocols, algorithms, and techniques of telecommunication networks, including issues such as design, dimensioning, modeling, control and performance evaluation, and optimization. Authors of both theoretical and application-oriented papers presenting emerging ideas and technologies to solve various unsolved problems and challenges in telecommunications networks are welcome. We invite worldwide researchers and experts to submit high-quality original research papers or critical survey articles.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Network architectures, design, and performance evaluation;
• Technologies used in optimization process of telecommunication networks;
• Services in optical wire and wireless networks;
• Performance evaluation of multiservice access nodes in telecommunication networks;
• Resource management mechanisms for telecommunication networks;
• Traffic control methods in telecommunication networks;
• Analytical and simulation models of core and access networks;
• Design and dimensioning of nodes in backbone networks;
• Network slicing;
• Energy-efficient networks.

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.
