Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will encapsulate recent research and emerging ideas shaping 6G wireless communication systems. It will focus on the technologies, architectures, and challenges expected to define next-generation networks.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
Terahertz (THz) and millimeter-wave communications for ultra-high data rates.
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) and massive MIMO for enhanced coverage and spectral efficiency.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning for intelligent network management and resource allocation.
Integrated sensing and communication for increased data transmission with environmental awareness.
Network architectures for 6G networks.
Security, energy efficiency, and standardization challenges for large-scale deployment.
Overall, this Special Issue aims to highlight advances that will enable faster, smarter, and more sustainable 6G networks, paving the way for future applications like holographic communication, autonomous systems, and intelligent environments.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Electronics 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.
