Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Performance analysis, packet level control, and optimization tools for dynamic networks are essential for enabling various time-critical services in 5G and beyond. For example, the freshness of the status information of various physical processes collected by multiple sensors is a key performance enabler in many time-critical applications of wireless sensor networks such as surveillance in smart home systems, remote surgery, intelligent transportation systems, drone control, and cyber-physical applications. The traditional metrics, such as throughput and delay, can not fully characterize the information freshness. Information freshness concerns the cases of sampling a real-world random process and transmitting the samples to intended destinations; the key trade-off here is the balance between the frequency of sampling and delay in the delivery of the information. Queueing theory provides the tools and understanding for optimizing packet generation and packet management in dynamic networks.
This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers from academia and industry to present their novel and unpublished work in the domain of the application of queueing theory in future wireless networks.

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
