Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
LoRa and LoRaWAN are promising low-power wide-area networking technologies for inter-connecting billions of low-power Internet of Things (IoT) nodes. We envision that an increasing number of IoT nodes will be deployed and connected to the Internet via LoRa and LoRaWAN to enable various innovative applications such as smart metering, smart transportation, machine-to-machine communication, and environment monitoring. We face great practical challenges and research opportunities in the design, implementation, and evaluation of LoRa and LoRaWAN technologies and their applications and system developments. This Special Issue calls for manuscripts describing the latest advances in LoRa and LoRaWAN.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel physical layer design and optimization for LoRa;
- Novel link and network layer design and implementation for LoRaWAN;
- Efficient data aggregation in LoRa-based sensor networks;
- Long-range backscatter and sensing systems;
- Joint communication and sensing with LoRa signals;
- Co-existence and co-operation with other wireless technologies in ISM bands;
- Cross-technology communication with LoRa;
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence application in LoRa and LoRaWAN;
- Security aspects of LoRa and LoRaWAN.

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.
