Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For environmental, economic, and health issues, power control (PC) is a fundamental resource allocation scheme that is able to balance quality of service (QoS), capacity and efficiency in wireless communications. In wireless sensor networks, dynamic PC can increase battery capacity and guarantee QoS in the communication links, especially for mobile nodes. In 5G and 6G communications, PC can increase the capacity of the network through a non-orthogonal multiple-access strategy and multi-user detection, reduce the network energy consumption, and decrease interference in the cells by optimizing device-to-device links. In vehicular communications, PC can mitigate the channel non-stationary behavior to reach high reliability or to maintain a desired QoS, and also can help to improve the overall efficiency of the network. In its problem formulation, a key element is to model the wireless communication network and the feedback mechanism for PC, as well as to define proper performance metrics. In this sense, the channel modeling and the estimation of network latency are central components. The mathematical tools that have been used to derive PC algorithms are diverse in nature, for example, constrained optimization, game theory, automatic control, and, recently, artificial intelligence (deep and machine learning). By the state of the art in the field, PC will be a distinctive element to unleash the full potential of 5G communications and to address the future challenges of 6G technologies. This Special Issue will be focused on novel PC methodologies with special interest paid to applications to IoT, vehicular networks, mobile sensor networks and 5G/6G technologies. Theoretical and experimental studies are welcomed with a clear contribution to expand the knowledge in the capabilities of PC to guarantee QoS, capacity and efficiency.

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.
