Wireless Sensor Network: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, there has been a tremendous growth in wireless sensor networks, especially due to the technological advancements and the challenges of Internet of Things (IoT). Wireless IoT devices can be flexibly deployed in the target region to sense and collect relevant information. Due to their flexibility, wireless sensor networks can be used in several applications, including smart cities, smart grid, health, agriculture, telecommunications, etc. Although the area of wireless sensor networks has been thoroughly examined in the literature, there are still a wide range of open issues and challenges regarding wireless sensor network applications. This Special Issue is aimed at addressing issues that are involved in connectivity, heterogeneity of infrastructure, data processing, management, energy waste, security, and privacy. This includes the following:

• Wireless sensor networks and their applications;
• Novel architectures, protocols, and algorithms for wireless sensor network applications;
• Communication platforms and access technologies;
• Theoretical modelling and frameworks for wireless sensor network applications;
• Case studies, real solutions, designs, and implementations;
• Resource allocation techniques;
• Measurements and transmission in wireless networks;
• Security and privacy frameworks for wireless sensor network applications;
• Innovative techniques for wireless sensor network security applications;
• Environmental challenges;
• Solutions for smart transport and traffic;
• Solutions for smart mobility and parking.

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.
