Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The upcoming sixth-generation (6G) communication systems will continue to use high frequencies with much higher data rates, massive connectivity, and extremely low latency. Given the heterogeneity and densification of the Internet of Things (IoT), 6G systems may need to be extended to modern communication technologies for IoT applications. Some of these technologies include intelligent reconfigurable surfaces (IRS), non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), ambient backscatter communication (AmBC), artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), and terahertz/ millimeter-wave (THz/mmWave) communications. These emerging technologies will generate new knowledge and understanding, accelerating the discovery of and innovation in 6G-enabled IoT networks. Moreover, each of these efforts is designed to amplify the intrinsically multidisciplinary nature of the emerging field of IoT in the 6G era. The 6G-enabled IoT will establish theoretical, technical, and ethical frameworks that will be applied for tackling many challenges in IoT, advancing technology for humanity.
This Special Issue aims to gather recent advances and novel contributions from academic researchers and industry practitioners in the novel area of sustainable solutions for 6G-enabled IoT networks in order to fully leverage the potential capabilities and opportunities brought by this area. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Network architecture for 6G-enabled IoT;
- Advance signal processing for 6G-enabled IoT;
- AI/ML techniques for 6G-enabled IoT;
- Optimal resource allocation and interference management frameworks for 6G-enabled IoT;
- IRS/AmBC for 6G-enabled IoT;
- NOMA techniques for 6G-enabled IoT;
- Security and reliability for 6G-enabled IoT;
- THz/mmWave for 6G-enabled IoT;
- Edge/cloud computing for 6G-enabled IoT;
- Energy harvesting techniques for 6G-enabled IoT;
- 6G-enabled IoT applications in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), vehicle to everything (V2X), device to device, and satellite communications;
- Testbeds/experimentation for prototyping of 6G-enabled IoT.

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.
