Optimizing the Future: Securing and Streamlining IoT Resource Allocation in the 6G Era with Edge Computing and UAV Integration

Dear Colleagues,

In the dynamic landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT), where sensors, actuators, and devices orchestrate a symphony of data, resource allocation emerges as a critical focal point. Recent strides in IoT, coupled with the pervasive deployment of 6G connectivity in developed nations, have unleashed unprecedented opportunities for ubiquitous sensor device connectivity. The incorporation of edge computing and the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) further extend the boundaries of IoT capabilities, introducing novel dimensions to data processing, analysis, and delivery.

This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the intricate interplay between IoT resource allocation, 6G connectivity, edge computing, and UAV integration. As the number of sensor devices proliferates and becomes seamlessly connected across diverse networks, the efficient distribution and management of resources becomes imperative. Researchers are invited to contribute high-quality papers presenting innovative solutions and comprehensive evaluations of application-oriented research results.

Join us in shaping the future by delving into the challenges and advancements that define the landscape of IoT resource allocation in the era of 6G, edge computing, and UAV integration. Your contributions will further enhance the collective understanding of optimal resource utilization, ensuring the security and efficiency of IoT networks in this ever-evolving technological ecosystem.

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.
