Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) MIMO communication, in addition to possessing many varied applications, is gradually becoming the standard for wireless connectivity in cellular, vehicular, and non-terrestrial networks. Compared to the sub-7 GHz (FR1) frequency bands used in legacy networks, the 30–300 GHz mmWave bands (FR2) offer larger bandwidths, translating directly to higher capacity and data rates; smaller wavelengths, enabling massive MIMO; and relatively closer spectral allocations, leading to a more homogeneous propagation. These attractive capabilities have spurred extensive academic research and the release of commercial communication products. However, the inherent challenges of mmWave MIMO such as high path and penetration losses, atmospheric absorption and rain attenuation, and vulnerability to blockage by objects have been subject to continuous research. Specifically used for multiuser mmWave MIMO in challenging networking scenarios (e.g., ultra-dense, dual mobility and multi-connectivity, etc.), interference mitigation, precoding and beam management, energy efficiency, and radio resource allocation frameworks are among the major technical challenges. Solutions to these challenges will extend the frontiers of next-generation networks’ services and applications. This Special Issue invites researchers to present new ideas to address the challenges of multiuser mmWave MIMO communications and seeks to compile together original research and review articles on recent advances in the field. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Efficient precoding schemes for multiuser mmWave MIMO;
- System-level performance analysis and optimization;
- Energy efficiency optimization for multiuser mmWave MIMO;
- Beam-tracking algorithms for mmWave MU-MIMO in V2X;
- Interference management for mmWave MU-MIMO in UDNs;
- Intelligent radio resource allocation for mmWave MU-MIMO;
- Measurement studies and deployment use cases for mmWave MU-MIMO;
- Channel modeling and estimation for mmWave MU-MIMO
- Interplay of mmWave MU-MIMO with RIS/IRS and NOMA.

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.
