Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the successor of 5G technology, 6G wireless networks will continue to revolutionize the industry and society by enabling many game-changing applications, including unmanned vehicle coordination and connectivity, smart factory operation, holographic telepresence, multisensory communications, telehealth, remote farming equipment operation and remote IoT communications. Realizing the full potential of these applications will require order-of-magnitude improvements in data rates, latency, reliability and coverage in 6G network deployments when compared to their 5G counterparts. Some key technologies that are expected to enable these applications include the utilization of terahertz bands, airborne network deployments, 3D networking integrating terrestrial, airborne and satellite networks, next generation satellite systems (e.g., regenerative LEO, MEO and GEO satellites), and edge intelligence for joint communications, computing and control.
This special issue will focus on potential technologies that will underpin the beyond 5G and 6G wireless networks. We solicit high-quality research papers on topics including, but not limited to:
- Terahertz communications
- Airborne network deployment and optimization
- 3D networking integrating terrestrial, airborne and satellite networks
- AR/VR communications over wireless links
- New generation satellite network architectures
- AI/ML based protocol design for emerging wireless systems
- Quantum communications
- Wireless edge computing and control
- Airborne edge computing
- Satellite IoT systems
- Blockchain based wireless networks

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.
