Special Issue on Advances in 5G Networks Security in Sensors journal [IF=3.275]


Special Issue Overview

With the great success and development of 4G mobile networks, it is expected that the 5th generation wireless systems (in short 5G) will be a continued effort toward rich ubiquitous communication infrastructure, promising a wide range of high-quality services. It is envisioned that 5G communication will offer significantly greater data bandwidth and an almost infinite capability of networking resulting in unfaltering user experiences for, among others, virtual/augmented reality, massive content streaming, telepresence, user-centric computing, crowded area services, smart personal networks, Internet of Things (IoT), smart buildings, and smart cities.

5G communication is currently at the center of attention for industry, academia, and government worldwide. 5G drives many new requirements for different network capabilities. As 5G aims to utilize many promising network technologies, such as software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), information-centric network (ICN), network slicing, cloud computing, etc. and supporting a huge number of connected devices integrating advanced technologies and innovating new techniques will surely bring tremendous challenges for security, privacy, and trust. Therefore, secure network architectures, mechanisms, and protocols are required as the basis for 5G to address these issues and follow security-by-design approaches. Finally, since in 5G networks even more user data and network traffic will be transmitted, big data security solutions should be considered in order to address the magnitude of the data volume and ensure data security and privacy.


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 papers will be 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 2200 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.
