Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

At the brink of its first decade of existence, the Internet of Things has penetrated virtually all sectors of our lives and revealed itself as much more than merely a technology. Therefore, its ubiquitous presence requires equally broad analyses that span from vertical domains affecting our daily lives, such as smart cities or homes, to technological aspects related to multiple IoT systems and networks—whilst also being mindful of the threats it brings along and cybersecurity measures to counteract them.

The topics of interest in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. IoT devices and applications;
  2. From smart cities to smart future with IoT systems;
  3. The role of IoT in promoting a green world;
  4. Security and privacy protection in IoT networks and systems;
  5. Traffic modeling in the IoT;
  6. IoT networks and systems auditing;
  7. Electromagnetic compatibility issues with IoT systems;
  8. Advances in medium access control techniques for IoT systems;
  9. Advances in routing techniques for IoT systems;
  10. IoT in terms of capability, adaptability, and usability.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.

Wireless M-Bus is a short-range wireless telemetry system that plays a vital role in the capillary sector of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Similar to any other IoT technology, it is meant to operate in harsh environmental conditions such as production plants, cellars, or other under-ground or indoor metering installations. This paper describes the methodology and outcomes of a carefully designed measurement campaign targeted at investigating this system’s immunity to jamming and extremely fading channels. The former was carried out in an anechoic chamber and the latter in a reverberation chamber, both specifically adapted for these types of measurements. The presented methodology allows for reproducible research. The article demonstrates PER measurements results as a function of CNIR for all throughput modes offered by the tested devices (ranging from 4.8 kb/s to 100 kb/s). The threshold CNIR values are universal and may prove useful in an IoT network design that is based on the Wireless M-Bus technology. Full article
