Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

IoT sensing technologies (e.g., millimeter-wave radar, Wi-Fi, UWB, RFID, acoustic, and 5G/6G signals) have revolutionized environmental and human activity perception by leveraging ubiquitous electromagnetic signals as sensing media.

Despite rapid advancements, ​the capability for generalization remains a critical bottleneck for IoT sensing systems. Environmental dynamics (e.g., layout changes, multipath interference) and human variability (e.g., posture, motion patterns) often degrade sensing accuracy, limiting real-world deployment.

This Special Issue seeks to address these challenges by soliciting research on the following topics:

  1. Synthetic data generation;
  2. ​Self-supervised learning;
  3. Generalizable representation learning;
  4. Continuous learning;
  5. Wireless sensing with LLMs;
  6. ​Cross-domain adaptation;
  7. Multimodal wireless sensing;
  8. Explainable wireless sensing;
  9. Novel applications;
  10. ​Integrated sensing and communication.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
