Advanced Communication and Networking Techniques for Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT)

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is considered a collaborative application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). With the fast growth of Internet of Things (IoT), vehicular networks, and the advent of 5G/6G, there are more rigorous performance requirements (e.g., ultra-low latency and ultra-high reliability) for advanced communication and networking techniques that enable the emerging high mobility applications.

Future AIoT systems will provide intelligent wireless connections with a high data rate for anyone at anytime and anywhere with the aid of AI, for example when traveling in high-speed trains and highway vehicles. These high mobility scenarios result in rapidly time-varying channels, which pose urgent demands for AI-empowered large-scale communications as well as significant challenges for the design of communication and networking models and technologies for AIoT.

This Special Issue aims to collect original and high-quality submissions that target the relevant theoretical aspects and practical design of advanced communication and networking techniques for high mobility networks. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Rapidly time-varying channel modeling, estimation, and equalization
• Machine learning-based big data analytics for AIoT systems
• Security and privacy in AIoT systems
• Doppler shift estimation and compensation
• Efficient modulation and detection techniques for highly mobile environments
• Highly dynamic radio resource optimization
• Multiple access schemes for AIoT
• Ultra-high reliability routing protocols
• Relay, distributive multi-antenna, and cooperative techniques
• Communication and networking for highly mobile underwater IoT
• Next generation techniques for highly mobile optical wireless communications

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.
