Positioning Algorithm, System and Application Using Radio Frequency (RF)
This special issue belongs to the section “G1: Smart Cities and Urban Management“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the proliferating social and commercial interest on location-based services (LBS), research and developments for indoor and outdoor positioning systems have been expanded. Specifically, the radio frequency (RF) based positioning technologies such as Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), 3G/4G/5G mobile communication, WiFi, Bluetooth beacon, UWB have been actively used for LBS services. The demand for the positioning service has grown through LBS applications such as indoor path finding and navigation, marketing, entertainment, security, and location-based information retrieval.
The goal of this Special Issue is to contribute to the development of algorithms, systems, and applications based on RF based indoor and outdoor positioning/ranging technologies.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
