Advances in Telecommunication Networks and Wireless Technology

Dear Colleagues,

As billions of intelligent devices are rapidly connected in modern telecommunication networks, resulting in unprecedented wireless possibilities, critically examining the different wireless technologies facilitating these interconnections is becoming imperative. The enabling technologies, such as cell-free massive MIMO, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and others, for beyond 5G telecommunication networks are critically examined. This Special Issue calls for original contributions to designing and developing advanced wireless technologies to facilitate secure, low-latency, highly reliable, and energy-efficient telecommunication networks. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Legacy telecommunication networks and infrastructure.
• New telecommunication standards and protocols for advanced wireless systems.
• Spectrum and radio resource management in telecommunication networks.
• Wireless technology in entertainment, academia, industries, healthcare delivery, etc.
• Advanced quantum computing for 6G wireless systems.
• mmWave and Terahertz communication systems and networks.
• New architectures for massive data transmission beyond 5G networks.
• Cell-free massive MIMO technology enabling future wireless systems.
• Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces empowering telecommunication systems.
• Artificial Intelligence-enabled low-latency and highly reliable wireless systems.
• Application of Federated learning in telecommunication networks.
• Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle-enabling telecommunication networks deployment.
• Extended realities and digital twins enabling 6G wireless systems.
• Measurements and channel modeling in advanced telecommunication networks.
• Energy-efficient propagation channel models for advanced wireless systems.
• Design and implementation of intelligent wireless devices using metamaterials.
• Integration of massive devices toward reducing carbon footprint in wireless networks.
• Quantum computing in telecommunication networks.
• Wireless power transfer systems in telecommunication networks.
• Security and privacy schemes for advanced telecommunication networks.
• High-speed and low-complexity signal processing techniques for future wireless systems.
• Economic policies and government regulations on emerging wireless systems.
• Recommendations for designing future wireless systems.
• Recent trends, open issues, and advances in wireless technology.

This Special Issue will provide novel contributions that will drive cutting-edge research to develop advanced, reliable, and energy-efficient telecommunication networks. Quality submissions from academia and industry are highly welcome.

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. Information 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 1800 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.
