Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is now part of the 5G standards, and along with communication in the THz bands, it is considered a solution to “spectrum crunch”— scarcity of commercial bandwidth in the sub-6GHz region. The abundance of mostly unused, contiguous bandwidth in the 30–300 GHz range has offered a unique opportunity to increase wireless networks’ throughput manifold.
While this area of research is relatively new and still quite fertile, there is a sizable literature on solving problems stemming from the nature of mmWave communications, the high free space pathloss, and susceptibility to blockage, to name a few, and the challenges these factors pose in PHY and MAC layers and above. This literature has produced new fascinating results and insights, and there is reason for great optimism that many new, exciting advancements are within grasp. Therefore, we invite you to contribute with your high-quality research and reports on advances in mmWave 5G and beyond to this Special Issue of Electronics on “Recent Advances in Millimeter Wave Communication”. These topics include but are not limited to:
- Channel measurement and modeling;
- Energy efficiency;
- Hardware design and development for communication at mmWave and THz frequencies;
- MIMO and massive MIMO in mmWave bands;
- Multicell cooperation, cell densification, and interference management;
- Latency and other KPIs in mmWave networks;
- Network planning and optimization;
- V2X communication in mmWave and handover;
- Testbeds and experiment-based research in mmWave;
- MAC and TCP/IP designs and algorithms for mmWave;
- Machine/Deep learning solutions in mmWave wireless networks;
- New use cases and applications.

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.
