Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The MDPI journal Information is inviting submissions to the second volume of this Special Issue on “5G Networks and Wireless Communication Systems”.
The Fifth Generation is entering its mature phase of deployment. Fall/Winter 2023 marks the evaluation of the mature phase of 5G infrastructure, terminal equipment, performance and the expansion of 5G core, access and front-end technologies across a spectrum of applications and services, including new paradigms such as Public Safety networks, e-gov services and more.
The mature deployment of 5G still needs to address many persistent challenges, including spectrum assignment, resource allocation, IPv6-based user classification over content, NfV and cloud, mobile-edge computing, and metro/core optical backhaul, as well as access/fronthaul for implementing “fiber to the antenna” broadband connectivity, RRH deployment over urban obstacle-dense topologies, cell densification, and optimal power control. In addition, the smart world applications and solutions that 5G is meant to implement and support range from mobile health to smart cities and transportation, which have many issues and challenges. Use cases and case studies from test-bed developments and real-world large-scale deployments provide very significant empirical data. This allows operators and engineers to re-assess their knowledge of techno-economic metrics and re-arrange their priorities in order to optimize the key parameters of interest.
In this very demanding and resourceful field, researchers from academia and industry are welcome to submit original research work, reviews, articles, and surveys to this Special Issue, expanding upon the findings and novel work featured in the first volume.
The topics of Interest include (but are not limited to):
- 5G regulatory and administrative issues;
- 5G spectrum licensing, leasing, and allocation;
- 5G over cm/mm-wave: can it still happen?;
- Channel modeling and noise measurements over 3.5 GHz;
- Wi-Fi as complementary 5G backhaul;
- Ultra-wide-band (UWB) channel characterization for 5G;
- RRH/antenna deployment and cell densification;
- Fiber to the antenna: 5G access;
- Metro/core backhaul network design;
- Smart/mobile health and 5G;
- Ultra-low latency for 5G solutions;
- Smart cities and transportation: the 5G angle;
- 5G and mobile-edge computing/fog;
- Software-defined networking for 5G;
- IPv6-based user classification;
- User content and spectrum allocation;
- Co-existence with 4G/4G+ infrastructure;
- Hybrid terrestrial-satellite backhaul for 5G;
- 5G and maritime communications;
- PPDR services and 5G;
- 5G and wireless theoretical information security.

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. 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 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.
