Performance and QoS Issues of 5G Wireless Networks and Beyond

Dear Colleagues,

The global telecommunication network is the largest technological object ever created by human society. It is being constantly enhanced and improved to keep up with our needs to exchange, store and process huge, ever-growing amounts of data. Network Performance directly affects the Quality of Service (QoS) of traffic flows and the Quality of Experience (QoE) perceived by users of communication services. Technologies evolve all the time and new communication systems emerge quickly; while it takes much longer to design, deploy and operate a full-scale network, this is when quality of service deficiencies may be revealed. To cover this gap, almost in parallel with new technologies, scholars and engineers develop new and enhance existing techniques and even theories to analyze the performance of emerging communication systems.

In this Special Issue, we focus the attention of authors and readers on the problems of performance and quality of 5G wireless networks, which are already under operation, and even 6G ones, which are at the initial stage of research. We are interested in new system models, scenario cases, approaches to the analysis of performance metrics, simulation and measurement results, etc., i.e., everything that is hidden behind the title of the Special Issue.

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. 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.
