Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mobile internet is evolving fast, with trends and exciting advances coming from many domains including mobile devices, mobile computing, and networking. There are increasingly smarter mobile devices with more computing resources and higher intelligence, leading towards human-centric computing, massive machine-to-machine (M2M) connections, edge computing and artificial intelligence, virtualized and software-defined network infrastructure. Innovative mobile Internet technologies and architectures are urgently needed to keep pace with these advances and meet the expectations of emerging advanced mobile internet and 6G cellular network services.
This Special Issue invites papers contributing to the fields of novel architectures for mobile Internet and 6G, with exploitation of the latest advances in mobile communications, mobile networking, and computing technologies, and support for new mobile services of broader importance (such as connected autonomous vehicles and systems, machine learning applications, augmented reality, and virtual reality). It solicits standard papers of original research from academia and industry.
The Topics of Interests include but are not limited to:
- Novel architectures and protocols for mobility support at Internet protocol stack
- Mobile networking and computing architectures for 4G/5G, beyond 5G and 6G
- Mobile network architecture design and management with data analytics and machine learning
- Design of architectures for joint communication, networking, and computing
- Software-defined and cloud-assisted mobile networking
- Network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture
- Mobile internet architectures and technologies for connected autonomous vehicles, UAV, and intelligent transport systems
- Mobile internet architecture for massive and low-power IoT access and smart cities
- Mobile Internet architectures and protocols for mobile edge computing/intelligence, VR/AR
- Mobile data sensing and fusion for big M2M data
- Information-centric networking for mobile networks and mobile computing
- Seamless mobility and mobility prediction-enhanced techniques in heterogeneous networks
- Future Internet architectures for efficient mobility support
- Location management, positioning, and data management for wireless and mobile applications
- Security and privacy technologies such as blockchains for mobile Internet and computing
- Cognitive network design for mobile systems and applications
- Social, economic, scalability, and deployment impacts of new mobile internet architectures
- Field trials, deployment, and evaluation of innovative mobile Internet architectures

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
