This special issue belongs to the section "Communications".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless communication systems and the growing number of sensor-enabled things offer context-aware data and mobile and personalized services with near real-time connectivity in an ever-increasing smart society. At the same time, such wireless communication systems and sensor-enabled things bring several potential challenges in their design and development methods and protocols. Novel network model architectures, the integration of wireless information and power transfer, wireless access techniques, routing algorithms and resource and spectrum utilization, future generation wireless communication systems and sensor networks should be able to efficiently support a unified and ubiquitous cyber-physical infrastructure for a variety of diverse applications, while keeping energy efficiency and security as well as secrecy/privacy concerns in mind. Moreover, these wireless systems support the massive connectivity demand when it comes to connecting smart Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the usage of IoT data, empowering consumers with the innovation and enhancement of their lives, healthcare and mobility in business, cities and society as a whole. To support diverse kinds of advanced IoT applications, low latency and energy efficiency are paramount issues requiring solutions in wireless communication systems. Therefore, we welcome the submission of unpublished and original research works related to the theme of ‘Wireless Communication Systems and Sensor Networks’.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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
