Sixth-Generation Wireless Communications: Theory and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Research on sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication networks began in 2020. In June 2023, the international telecommunication union (ITU) presented some usage scenarios, including immersive communication, massive communication, hyper reliable and low-latency communication, ubiquitous connectivity, integrated AI and communication, and integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). Various potential key technologies have been proposed to enhance the capabilities of 6G, such as space–air–ground–sea integrated networks, THz and visible light communication (VLC), reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), ISAC, AI, and semantic communication. This Special Issue aims to receive papers covering the latest 6G developments from theory to application. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• High-frequency mmWave/THz/VLC band communications;
• RIS, ISAC, AI, and semantic communication;
• Advanced antenna technologies like massive MIMO and holographic MIMO;
• Channel measurements and modeling;
• Channel estimation and tracking;
• 6G communication system 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
