Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The localisation of mobile devices often uses their wireless communication channels to estimate or aid the estimation of their location. Well-known examples include triangulation in cellular networks, fingerprinting in Wi-Fi networks, or proximity detection with Bluetooth radios. These concepts are still of interest, as they allow the finetuning of location estimation through advanced methods in artificial intelligence, Bayesian filtering, and multimodality. More recently, novel technologies have become widely available: ultrawideband, low-power wide area networks, and vehicular communication. These are now being investigated with proven approaches, and with smart approaches that incorporate the unique features of those novel technologies.
Certain research questions remain difficult to answer: how accurately can a location be estimated? How often can the location be updated? How much or little energy is necessary for localization purposes? How can privacy be preserved?
This Special Issue aims to report high-quality research in recent advances in localising sensors through wireless communication.

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.
