Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Underwater acoustic communications (UWACs) play significant roles in diverse sectors such as underwater ocean exploration, marine research, environmental monitoring, and military applications like submarine communications. Academia and industries have conducted research and development (R&D) in UWACs to enhance marine innovations intelligently. However, the unique characteristics of underwater environments pose major obstacles to the development of wireless communication and networking systems due to the hostile environment, strong signal attenuation, multipath dispersion, Doppler shift, mobility, link and topology dynamics, etc. In recent times, both academia and industry have made notable efforts to overcome these challenges. Thus, this Special Issue aims to showcase the latest findings, developments, and reviews in the field of UWACs while providing new ideas and technologies to drive further R&D in UWACs. This Special Issue's scope encompasses but is not restricted to:
- Underwater channel modeling, estimation and characterization;
- Underwater ranging, localization and tracking;
- Underwater surveillance and monitoring;
- Underwater network optimization and resource allocation;
- Underwater covert communication;
- Machine/deep learning-based underwater communication;
- Underwater Internet of Things (UIoT).

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. 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.
