Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the emergence of new network generations, there is a growing desire for innovation and agility in wireless communication systems. The use of distributed virtualized environments like cloud-native technologies (i.e., cloud, edge, and fog computing) fosters new approaches to solve challenges in 5G networks, and it is envisioned to affect the emerging 6G networks.
Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is a distributed paradigm that integrates cloud computing technology and user equipment (UE) to extend the battery lifetime and increase application performance. It also provides the infrastructure to support data processing and storage through cloud-native capabilities.
Although conventional MCC was proposed to provide data processing outside the UEs, it may face several challenges to meet the requirements of ever-increasing IoT requests, latency-sensitive machine learning (ML), cyber-physical systems (CPSs), mobile robotics, and edge artificial intelligence (Edge-AI) applications. With the rapid growth of IoT and MCC comes an exciting new frontier for innovations, especially when the computation power of IoT devices grows.
However, growing use cases like holographic communication demand high computation and communication resources as well as related facilities. So, one of the controversial questions which is arising is how MCC can enable such emerging computation- and communication-intensive applications.
This Special Issue encourages authors from academia and industry to submit new research results relating to advanced technological innovations in mobile cloud computing in wireless networks and IoT.

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. Sensors 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.
