Special Issue Information
The world of wireless communication and computing technologies has been evolving rapidly, bringing new possibilities and opportunities for innovation. The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G and Beyond, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Edge Computing have paved the way for faster and more efficient communication networks, as well as the integration of immersive and interactive experiences such as Virtual Reality (VR), Extreme Reality (ER), Metaverse and holographic communication into the IoT ecosystem.
However, as we embrace these new technologies, we must also acknowledge their challenges. The heterogeneity of data, storage and computing resources in edge devices, combined with the highly random, and dynamic IoT environment, can make it problematic to manage and control IoT systems efficiently.
To address these challenges, Edge Computing and Artificial intelligence (AI) have emerged as potential solutions, with the ability to analyze large amounts of data, provide real-time predictive analysis at the network’s edge, and promote efficient decision making through intelligent management and control of IoT systems. Moreover, they can enhance the privacy and security of IoT systems, which is critical given the sensitive nature of data collected by IoT devices.
Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on advanced research regarding the potential applications of Edge-AI-empowered wireless communication and computing technologies for the Internet of Things. We invite researchers to contribute their latest findings on intelligent communication and computing architectures, protocols, designs, and frameworks for future IoT devices and systems. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Intelligent protocols and architecture for future IoT systems and services.
- The Edge-AI-driven communication framework for future IoT systems and services.
- Standardization and interoperability for IoT-enabled 5G and Beyond, Virtual Reality, Extreme Reality, Metaverse, and holographic communication.
- Edge-AI-driven edge/fog/cloud computing for future IoT systems and services.
- Edge-AI-driven security, privacy, and trust management in future IoT systems and services.
- An Edge-AI-driven IoT system for smart cities, industry, grid, transportation, and e-health.
- Edge-AI-driven communication and computing technologies for future IoT applications, such as energy efficiency, software and hardware development, and sensor networks.
- AI-empowered resource management models and solutions for future IoT systems and services.

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. 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.
