Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-latency communications are one of the emerging research fields in communication networks. Achieving low-latency communications appears to be one of the most critical challenges for 5G cellular networks and IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi and beyond technologies. While various applications and services require low-latency and ultrahigh reliable communications, tactile internet, mission-critical applications, enhanced mobile broadband communications, and massive machine type communications for IoT devices are the ones that require them the most.
We are looking for original contributions in this Special Issue of Electronics titled “Advances in Low-Latency Communications: Protocols, Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities”.
Topics of Interest:
The topics in this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Network architecture for low-latency communications
- Technologies for low-latency communications
- Applications and services for low-latency communications
- Protocol design for low-latency communications
- 5G and beyond technologies for low-latency communications
- IEEE 802.11ax and beyond wireless LANs
- Crosslayer design approaches for low-latency communications
- Machine learning approaches for low-latency communications
- M2M communications
- Tactile internet implementations
- Mission-critical applications
- Enhanced mobile broadband communications
- Massive machine type communications for IoT devices
- System design, modelling, and performance evaluation

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.
