Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The fifth-generation cellular system, 5G, represents a new era of telecommunication systems that brings new requirements, applications and business cases. To enable 5G requirements and the announced use cases, new technologies and network structures should be deployed, such as mobile edge computing, MEC, software-defined networking, SDN, and network function virtualizations, NFV. The main requirements of 5G, including one-millisecond end-to-end latency, are still being researched; thus, the current version of 5G can be considered as a preliminary version. Many issues and challenges are still under investigation and research from both academic and business sectors.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities with an excellent source of knowledge that covers all aspects of the current work on the emerging trends in 5G wireless communications and its use cases.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Deployment of MEC for 5G systems.
  • Offloading algorithms for MEC-based radio access networks.
  • Designing and developing intelligent core networks for 5G systems based on SDN.
  • Integrating SDN core networks with MEC-based radio access networks.
  • AI algorithms for 5G systems.
  • Network slicing and NFV.
  • Novel network structures that support both dense deployment and ultra-low latency applications.
  • 6G networks and enabling technologies.

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.

Fifth-generation (5G) networks require efficient radio resource management (RRM) which should dynamically adapt to the current network load and user needs. Monitoring and forecasting network performance requirements and metrics helps with this task. One of the parameters that highly influences radio resource management is the profile of user traffic generated by various 5G applications. Forecasting such mobile network profiles helps with numerous RRM tasks such as network slicing and load balancing. In this paper, we analyze a dataset from a mobile network operator in Portugal that contains information about volumes of traffic in download and upload directions in one-hour time slots. We apply two statistical models for forecasting download and upload traffic profiles, namely, seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) and Holt-Winters models. We demonstrate that both models are suitable for forecasting mobile network traffic. Nevertheless, the SARIMA model is more appropriate for download traffic (e.g., MAPE [mean absolute percentage error] of 11.2% vs. 15% for Holt-Winters), while the Holt-Winters model is better suited for upload traffic (e.g., MAPE of 4.17% vs. 9.9% for SARIMA and Holt-Winters, respectively).
