Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the fifth generation (5G) of wireless networks, billions of wireless devices and networks are expected to access the internet with demand for high data speed to convey reliable services from a multitude of networks.
Signal processing is a highly promising technology, which has the potential to address the challenges facing future communication systems. Signal processing systems can be considered as highly powerful yet cost-effective technology because of the advanced digital semiconductor technologies. The continuous advances in the digital signal processing means that the cost and power per DSP function are progressively decreasing with time. Similarly, the complexity of signal processing algorithms is also gradually increasing over time.
DSP has received a great deal of attention from researchers in the recent years, and still it is an ongoing area of research. Researchers in both academia and industry are addressing the challenges of real-time signal processing implementation for applications such as high-speed communications of terabits per second and beyond, personalized health monitoring and assistance, dynamic-data-enabled autonomous systems through real-time sensing and learning, sensing for the Internet of Things, secured wireless connectivity, processing speech, and vision, and monitoring critical infrastructure especially the power grid, energy-aware signal processing.
The goal of this Special Issue is to present a collection of exciting papers, reporting the most recent advances in digital signal processing techniques for application in future communications. Example topics of interest are the application of DSP in areas, but are not limited to:
- Wireless, optical, and hybrid communications and networking
- Full-duplex, massive MIMO, mm-wave, and THz communications
- Spectrum access and sharing
- Integrated sensing, communication, and computational systems
- Spectrum sensing
- Wideband compressive sensing
- Machine learning
- Deep learning
- Cyber-physical systems and hardware-controlled secured communications
- Dynamic-data-enabled communication systems through sensing and machine learning
- Quantum communication systems
- Signal and pattern extraction from massive spatiotemporal data
- Signal processing for new applications enabled by fat data pipes—virtual reality, telepresence, enhanced reality, etc.

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
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
