Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of wireless communication technologies, particularly in the context of 5G, 6G, and massive IoT deployments, has introduced unprecedented levels of complexity, heterogeneity, and performance demands in modern communication systems. Traditional design paradigms, often based on fixed models and static optimization, are increasingly challenged by dynamic environments, diverse quality-of-service requirements, and resource constraints. In response, the integration of intelligent methodologies—encompassing artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and advanced optimization—has gained significant attention as a means to enable adaptive, efficient, and scalable wireless communication networks.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Intelligent Wireless Communications: AI, Optimization, and Beyond,” seeks to explore recent developments and emerging research at the intersection of wireless systems and intelligent decision-making techniques. The aim is to gather high-quality contributions that address both theoretical foundations and practical implementations of intelligent approaches across all layers of wireless networks. This includes novel frameworks, algorithms, and architectures that improve spectrum utilization, energy efficiency, network reliability, and service adaptability.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Intelligent signal processing.
- Adaptive and cognitive protocol design.
- Resource optimization and control.
- Learning-based and heuristic approaches.
- Data-driven network management and orchestration.
- Distributed and edge intelligence.
- Applications in IoT, UAVs, vehicular networks, and next-generation systems.
We welcome original research articles and comprehensive reviews that advance the state of the art in intelligent wireless communications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
