Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) propagation together with the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) are envisioned as key technologies to offer greater bandwidths than previously available for next-generation communications. The advantages of mmWave MIMO systems include large bandwidth, narrow beams, good frequency reuse, good communication security, suitability for all-weather communication, and compact devices. However, they also have some inherent shortcomings, such as severe propagation attenuation, large penetration loss, the fact that they are easy to block, a complex data processing method, etc. This poses new challenges in the effective utilization and large-scale application of mmWave MIMO communication. Therefore, this Special Issue is intended for the presentation of new ideas, models, methods, and experimental results in the field of mmWave MIMO systems from design, measurement, and theory to practical use.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers in the overlapping fields of:
- Antenna design and antenna measurement;
- Signal processing, hardware design and development;
- Massive MIMO mmWave technologies;
- mmWave MIMO channel measurement, modeling, and estimation;
- Vehicular and high-speed railway mmWave MIMO communications;
- mmWave MIMO communications for UAVs and satellites;
- Artificial-intelligence-assisted mmWave MIMO communications;
- Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted mmWave MIMO communications;
- System performance assessment and optimization;
- New case uses and applications.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
