Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lockdown restrictions to curb the spread of COVID-19 have rendered connectivity very important. This helps those in lockdown at home interact with others via social media platforms and support remote working for tens of millions of employees and non-employees alike.
Thanks to the existing mobile infrastructure and the new fifth-generation (5G) communication networks, the unabated mobile data demand is supported to meet the needs of all industries to achieve a much broader worldwide revolution in the digital economy. By following the current pace of this growth, it is anticipated that 75.44 billion Internet of Things (IoT)-connected devices, such as computers and tablets, will be produced worldwide by 2025. This transition will present a formidable challenge for future mobile communication technology as wireless networks are hitting their physical capacity limits. There is also a growing concern about the associated significant increase in cyberattacks, e-waste and energy consumption required to maintain such networks.
Therefore, it is imperative to develop radically new solutions to support this ever-increasing number of connected devices in smart, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and cyber-safe ways. To address this, the future 5G and beyond (6G) wireless networks will be a transformative factor for both society and the economy by delivering unprecedented, seamless, massive connectivity to millions of users and interconnected devices while helping us meet the net-zero target.
To meet the future challenges, the sixth-generation (6G) mobile network is expected to define the high technical standard of this new spectrum, including energy-efficient transmission techniques, cyber-safe frameworks, etc.
The objective of this Special Issue is to define the framework of the sixth generation of wireless communication networks, its services, breakthrough technologies, and sustainability approaches. We are soliciting original contributions that have not been published and are not currently under consideration by any other journals, with a particular emphasis on radically new concepts and ideas for next-generation wireless communication 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. 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.
