Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the recent development in multiple/swarm unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) UAV systems, the communication between UAVs and ground control stations isof critical importance. The currently available communication modules are restricted by the short communication range, low bandwidth, high delay, and the number of supported nodes. At the same time, the recent progress in wireless ad hoc networks, mmWave communications, 5G networks, and data-driven design methods provides new insight into UAV communications. The new communication methods may also lead to more types of UAV applications. This Special Issue aims to provide a collection of state-of-the-art UAV communication and networking methods, including, but not limited to, the following keywords:
- multiple-UAV communications;
- adaptive communication network;
- wireless ad hoc networks;
- 5G-supported UAV communications;
- UAV-to-X communications;
- communication for robot swarm;
- data-driven design method;
- high-definition video transmission;
- routing and scheduling;
- antenna design.

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.
