Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for our upcoming Special Issue on "Exploring Electronics and Cooperation in Wireless Sensor Networks: IoT, Blockchain, and 5G Technologies". This event aims to bring together researchers, engineers, industry experts, and academics to share their insights and cutting-edge research on the advancements in electronics and wireless sensor networks, with a particular focus on the integration of IoT, blockchain, and 5G technologies.

The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to an unprecedented expansion of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The fusion of IoT with blockchain and 5G technologies has the potential to revolutionize WSNs by enabling secure, efficient, and high-speed communication between various devices, as well as improving data processing capabilities. This Special Issue seeks to explore how these disruptive technologies can work in synergy to overcome the challenges faced by WSNs and enhance their functionality.

We invite authors to submit original research papers, review articles, case studies, and technical reports covering a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Electronics and hardware design for WSNs in the IoT era;
• Blockchain technology and its applications in WSNs;
• 5G networks and their impact on WSN performance and capabilities;
• The integration of IoT, blockchain, and 5G technologies for enhanced WSN cooperation;
• Energy-efficient communication protocols for IoT-enabled WSNs;
• Security, privacy, and trust issues in IoT-based WSNs with blockchain and 5G integration;
• Data management, analytics, and decision-making in IoT, blockchain, and 5G-enabled WSNs;
• Interoperability and standardization in IoT, blockchain, and 5G-based WSNs;
• Scalability and resource management in cooperative WSNs leveraging IoT, blockchain, and 5G technologies;
• Real-world applications, case studies, and implementation challenges of IoT, blockchain, and 5G in WSNs

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.
