Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Future 6G wireless networks are envisioned to provide a much higher spectral and energy efficiency, higher connection density, and lower latency. To achieve these goals, novel technique innovations are required. Thanks to excessive spatial degrees-of-freedom (DoF), the extremely large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (XL-MIMO) is one of the promising candidate technologies for 6G wireless transmission. The unique channel propagation characteristics, such as the spherical wavefront and non-stationarity, brought in by XL-MIMO is likely to lead to challenges as well as potential opportunities in wireless transmission designs.
Accordingly, this Special Issue calls for recent advances related to XL-MIMO. Topics of interest in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Channel model for XL-MIMO;
- Electromagnetic information theory for XL-MIMO;
- Hybrid far- and near-field transmission for XL-MIMO;
- New array architectures for XL-MIMO, such as dynamic metasurface antennas (DMA) and holographic MIMO;
- Low-complexity and distributed processing techniques for XL-MIMO;
- Applications of XL-MIMO in novel scenarios, such as satellite communications, integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), and massive connectivity;
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for XL-MIMO transmission.

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. 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.
