Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The next generation of wireless networks must provide more reliable services at a much higher speed than the present generation. Large amounts of data need to be transmitted seamlessly to implement high-quality services, such as remote sensor monitoring and the integration of several different devices, drones, and satellite communications. These novel features will allow for the development of several applications, such as in medical and healthcare, education, and industrial production, as well as in processing lines, transportation, entertainment, and the military.
These requirements for the next generation of wireless communications networks will be provided by the continuous evolution of circuitry and signal processors and antenna technologies, but also by using artificial intelligence solutions for system optimization and network software and protocols. However, the larger amount of traffic generated between the immense number of devices in the new wireless networks increases security and privacy vulnerabilities. Hence, new user authentication and network security solutions have to be considered.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in next-generation wireless communications and sensor networking. We invite research articles that will consolidate and advance the state-of-the-art in this area. This Special Issue will publish full research papers and reviews about novel solutions in physical layer signal processing and transmission, sensor and drone monitoring and localization, network privacy and security, and other related topics.

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.
