Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Screen-based visible light communication (SB-VLC), often referred to as screen– (or display)–camera communication (SCC) or visual MIMO (multiple input, multiple output), is a burgeoning field at the intersection of computer vision, human–computer interaction, and wireless communications that has witnessed significant advancements in recent years. The proliferation of smartphones, tablets, and other devices equipped with high-quality cameras has facilitated this application of optical camera communication (OCC). This Special Issue aims to gather innovative research, reviews, and practical implementations that explore the use of screens and cameras (or photodiodes) as communication devices. It will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share advancements, challenges, and future directions in this emerging field.
We welcome submissions on any topic related to screen-based VLC. Below is the nonexclusive list of principal topics:
- Multitechnology SB-VLC/OCC/SCC/visual MIMO transceiver design;
- Channel modeling, high data rates, and digital signal processing in SB-VLC;
- Conventional and non-orthogonal modulation, coding, and multiple access in SCC;
- Optical camera communication (OCC);
- Underwater OCC;
- Adaptive VLC;
- Applications of visual MIMO/OCC/SB-VLC in intelligent transport systems;
- Machine learning and neural networks in SB-VLC, OCC, SCC, and visual MIMO;
- New architectures in SB-VLC;
- IEEE 802.15.7 standardization;
- Security and privacy issues in SB-VLC, OCC, and SCC.

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.
