Propagation Channel Measurements and Modeling for 6G Wireless Communications

Dear Colleagues,

The knowledge of the propagation channel has historically been a fundamental element in the development and deployment of wireless communication technologies. Channel measurement and modeling are direct and significant ways to depict channel characteristics. In sixth-generation (6G) communication systems, there has been a growing demand for high transmission speeds, a large number of services, and global connectivity, which has led to the emergence of new radio technologies and new frequency bands. In view of the new features and technologies of 6G communications, it is urgent to measure and study accurate channel properties and characterization models of multiple scenarios and frequency bands.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to contribute to the latest advances in channel measurements and modeling for 6G wireless communications. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

• Channel sounder configuration and measurement techniques;
• 6G propagation channel characteristics;
• Channel models for 6G wireless communication systems;
• Millimeter and terahertz wave propagation;
• Channel modeling in high-mobility scenarios;
• Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel measurements and models;
• Non-stationarity, consistency, and correlation in multiple domains;
• Channel models for satellite communications;
• Air-to-ground propagation characteristics and models;
• Channel modeling for reconfigurable intelligent surface;
• Channel modeling for Joint communication and sensing;
• Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled channel modeling schemes and characteristics.

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.
