Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce a Special Issue dedicated to advancing research and exploring innovative developments in 6G technology. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in 6G and foster the integration of diverse research contributions that can shape the future of this field. We invite researchers to submit original papers that advance theoretical foundations and practical applications in various aspects of 6G, contributing to a deeper understanding of this transformative technology.

This Special Issue welcomes full-length original papers addressing new advancements, insights, and applications in 6G. We encourage submissions that explore novel theoretical models, cutting-edge methodologies, and practical implementations that push the boundaries of 6G research.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following research areas:

  • Integration of air, space, and sea of 6G networks and integration technology;
  • New air interface and network architecture of endogenous intelligence;
  • Massive MIMO technology;
  • Theory and technology of wireless transmission in new physical dimensions;
  • Terahertz and visible light communication technology;
  • Integration of communication and perception;
  • 6G and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology;
  • 6G security architecture and security strategy;
  • 6G and Edge Computing;
  • 6G and Internet of Senses (IoS).

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. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.

The rapid integration of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is transforming healthcare through real-time monitoring, AI-driven diagnostics, and remote treatment. However, the growing reliance on IoMT devices, such as robotic surgical systems, life-support equipment, and wearable health monitors, has expanded the attack surface, exposing healthcare systems to cybersecurity risks like data breaches, device manipulation, and potentially life-threatening disruptions. While 6G networks offer significant benefits for healthcare, such as ultra-low latency, extensive connectivity, and AI-native capabilities, as highlighted in the ITU 6G (IMT-2030) framework, they are expected to introduce new and potentially more severe security challenges. These advancements put critical medical systems at greater risk, highlighting the need for more robust security measures. This study leverages AI techniques to systematically identify security vulnerabilities within 6G-enabled healthcare environments. Additionally, the proposed approach strengthens AI-driven security through use of multiple XAI techniques cross-validated against each other. Drawing on the insights provided by XAI, we tailor our mitigation strategies to the ITU-defined 6G usage scenarios, with a focus on their applicability to medical IoT networks. We propose that these strategies will effectively address potential vulnerabilities and enhance the security of medical systems leveraging IoT and 6G networks. Full article
