Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to rapidly and widely communicate the recent research progress in the field of wireless communication, Applied Sciences has launched a Special Issue on “Wireless Communication Technologies: Latest Advances and Prospects”. Taking 5G and 6G as an example, in response to the ever-growing demand for a higher quality of wireless communication, new concepts, techniques, and methods are continuously investigated all over the world, such as ubiquitous connection, artificial intelligence, integrated sensing and communication, intelligent reflection surface, non-orthogonal multiple access, cell-free massive MIMO, and fluid antenna. However, the combination of these new technologies and traditional systems, such as MIMO and OFDM, faces new challenges that remain a problem. As new forms of interferences and channel conditions arise, conventional approaches may no longer be suitable anymore, thus urgent improvement is necessary. The main scope is as follows: how to make full use of the advantages provided by new techniques regarding interference and channel fading, and how to combat their weaknesses while balancing account effectiveness, reliability, physical layer security, energy efficiency, spectrum efficiency, and throughput.
This Special Issue aims to explore both theoretical and practical contributions in wireless communication systems, within physical layers, link layers, and cross layers. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Artificial intelligence-enabled channel estimation;
- Artificial intelligence-enabled data detection;
- Artificial intelligence-enabled beamforming;
- Integrated sensing and communication;
- Physical layer security;
- Resource allocation;
- Ubiquitous connection;
- Intelligent reflection surface;
- Non-orthogonal multiple access;
- Cell-free massive MIMO;
- Fluid antenna;
- Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing;
- Performance evaluation.

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.
