Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the integration of recent intelligent theoretical frameworks, innovative algorithms, and practical applications to advance wireless communication systems. It aims to address the challenges posed by the increasing demand for high-speed, reliable, and efficient wireless networks, especially in the context of emerging technologies such as 6G mobile communications.
Key areas of interest include the development of intelligent algorithms for resource management; the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques for physical layer design; network optimization; and the exploration of novel architectures that support scalability and adaptability in dynamic communication environments. This Special Issue also seeks contributions that discuss the deployment of these advanced systems in real-world scenarios, highlighting the transition from theoretical models to practical implementations. It serves as a platform for researchers and practitioners to share insights, propose innovative solutions, and discuss the implications of these technologies on the evolution of wireless networks.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI-enabled 6G physical-layer technologies;
- intelligent signal processing;
- spectrum and energy efficient communications;
- ultra-reliable and low-latency communications;
- AI/ML-enabled channel estimation, transmission design, and resource optimization;
- IoT networks;
- wireless security;
- cognitive radio-based communications;
- mmWave/THz communications;
- UAV-based communications and sensing;
- integrated sensing and communication;
- performance characterization and optimization design;
- emerging multiple-antenna technologies;
- reconfigurable intelligent surface/movable antennas/fluid antenna systems.
We look forward to your submissions.

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.
