Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the amount and magnitude of IoT and wearable device applications have expanded significantly, leading to the growing demand for a flexible body channel communication (BCC) system that can support both low-power operation and scalable data rates. Human body communication (HBC), which uses human body tissue as a transmission medium to transmit health informatics, serves as a promising physical layer solution for the body area network (BAN). The human-centric nature of HBC offers an innovative method to transfer healthcare data, whose transmission requires low interference and a reliable data link. This Special Issue is aimed at addressing issues that are involved in the analysis, design, and implementation of the HBC system and proposes efficient techniques that can reduce power consumption and increase the data rate in short-range communication systems. Topics of interest include the following:
- Body-channel communication (BCC);
- Capacitive coupling;
- Digital transmission;
- Electric field communication;
- Human-body communication (HBC);
- Intra-body communication (IBC);
- IoT;
- Low power consumption;
- Short range communication;
- Transmission path loss;
- Wearable computing;
- Wireless body area network (WBAN).

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.
