Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are glad to announce and support this Special Issue on the Application of Satellite Communication in Network Sensing.

Satellite Communications are constantly evolving and have become increasingly widespread in the last decade. New and emerging scenarios and use cases are integrating satellite networks for different purposes. Network Sensing is one of these purposes. Satellite Communication networks can be exploited to monitor the conditions of underlying networks and systems. Satellite networks, particularly the LEO mega-constellation with Inter-Satellite links, are suitable, due to their high coverage area and high availability. They are able to collect and forward large amounts of data from the monitored-system nodes (sensors, devices, etc.) to entities, aiming to store and manage these data.

This Special Issue of Sensors is dedicated to further improving the research on this field with innovative solutions from the communication protocols, network architecture, and data analysis and processing technique viewpoints.

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.
