Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of intelligent communication and computational technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), as a pervasive paradigm connecting the real world with the cyberworld through heterogeneous devices, has shown great advances in many fields, such as wireless telecommunications, digital health, and industrial automation. However, challenges are also emerging in sustainability and energy efficiency, and there is a need to develop green communication and computing technologies to meet the growing energy consumption and cost in IoT development.
Building an IoT network usually requires a wide range of technologies. The requirements are different from one application to another, making IoT network architectures a heterogeneous system, where different communication methods may coexist in the same network. In this context, power-efficient communication architectures, protocols, and algorithms in heterogeneous IoT environments are obviously a crucial research aspect.
This Special Issue will focus on advanced research regarding green communication and computing advancements in heterogeneous Internet of Things. Researchers are welcome to present original research on the latest findings related to current trends and challenges in energy-efficient communication technologies applied in heterogeneous Internet of Things. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Green communication technologies and protocols for heterogeneous IoT;
- Energy optimization methods for architectures, models, and tools applied in heterogeneous IoT communication and networking systems;
- Low energy data processing, analysis, and storage for heterogeneous IoT communication;
- Edge–cloud computing for heterogeneous IoT communication;
- Intelligent service computing for heterogeneous IoT communication;
- Energy harvesting and saving for heterogeneous IoT;
- Efficient resource and power management for heterogeneous IoT;
- Green heterogeneous IoT applications and services.

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.
