application of mobile technologies in communication systems could be tracked back to the 1980s. The emergence of cognitive radio targeted at the revolutionary spectrum access paradigm has sparked a radical change in wireless mobile system design, development, and performance analysis. Since then, state-of-the-art wireless communications has been significantly advanced, from a substantial improvement in spectrum usage, smart adaptation, and coexistence in radio and network environments, fundamental enhancement in performance and capacity, to a considerable reduction of complexity in mobile network management. This trend will strengthen even more with the advent of fifth-generation (5G) communication networks that will impose new challenges related mainly to the heterogeneity of such networks, improving users' experience quality and the efficient and sustainable use of network resources. Solutions for energy-efficient, sustainable future Internet heavily rely on advanced technologies, new ways of thinking on network design and development, and new theoretical foundations. Mobile communication ecosystems must be equipped with advanced intelligence from machine learning, data analytics, and cognitive computing to meet the challenges. Mobile communications will remain an essential and active area of research for the next several decades. It becomes necessary to provide a common forum to publish high-quality papers and to offer readers a single source to get inspiring ideas and significant findings in this area.</p> <p><strong>Article Processing Charge (APC)</strong></p> <p>In this journal, we do not apply APC to process or publish articles.</p> <p><strong>Access</strong></p> <p>All articles in the journal are of聽<a href="https://publications.eai.eu/index.php/mca/open-access" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Open Access (OA)</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequency</strong></p> <p>From 2023, this journal adopted the continuous publication model.</p> <p><strong>Copyright notice</strong></p> <p>Authors retain copyright over their materials and are free to copy, redistribute, remix, transform, and build upon the material since all the papers are published under a Creative Commons <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International</a> (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license.</p> <p><strong>Archiving</strong></p> <p>All the articles published by EAI are archived using <a href="https://www.portico.org/publishers/eai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Portico's e-journal preservation service</a>, together with CLOCKSS and LOCKSS.
