Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As we advance toward the era of 6G, the integration of sensing and communication becomes pivotal. Intelligent signal processing is at the core of this integration, enabling seamless, efficient, and high-performance networks. The development of intelligent signal processing techniques for 6G integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is essential for achieving unprecedented levels of connectivity, data transfer rates, and real-time information processing. This field addresses the need for innovative solutions to meet the demands of future communication systems and applications, ensuring robust and adaptive performance in diverse environments.
This Special Issue aims to develop cutting-edge intelligent signal processing methods to enhance 6G ISAC systems, providing the foundation for the next generation of wireless technologies.
This Special Issue will accept articles on topics regarding intelligent signal processing for 6G integrated sensing and communications, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Advanced signal processing algorithms for 6G networks;
- Machine learning and AI for signal processing in 6G;
- Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system design;
- Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted ISAC;
- Integrated sensing and backscatter communications;
- Real-time signal processing for high-speed communications;
- Signal processing for massive MIMO and beamforming;
- Intelligent resource allocation and management;
- Signal processing techniques for terahertz (THz) and millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications;
- Joint sensing and communication signal processing;
- Security and privacy in signal processing for 6G;
- Energy-efficient signal processing for 6G networks

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.
