Wireless Communication Systems for Localization

Dear Colleagues,

Location detection technology (LDT), which has a variety of applications, including the energy consumption monitoring system, is one of core techniques in modern wireless communication systems. As wireless communication techniques are developed, we can find more and more applications related to LDT in industrial fields. Many researchers involved in this area are pushing to efficiently develop accurate mobile devices with high performance, low-costs, and reusability of components.

The goal of this Special Issue is to contribute to the development of various theories, applications, mathematical models, simulations, etc., related to localization techniques based on wireless communication systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Advanced Location Detection Technologies Related to Time of Arrival (ToA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA), Angle of Arrival (AoA), Cell ID, Fingerprinting Technique, Trilateration, etc.
• Localization in Networks (IoT, Next Generation, Vehicle, ITS, etc.)
• Indoor Localization and RFID Based Positioning Technique
• Localization for Energy Saving and Energy Management
• Signal Processing and Communication Theory for Localization
• Statistical and Adaptive Signal Processing for Localization
• Location-Based-Service Applications Including Emergency Service
• Localization Technique for Disaster
• Satellite Based Positioning Technique (Global Positioning System, Galileo, COMPASS, GLONASS, etc.)
• Maritime and Underwater Localization
• AOA Estimation and Ranging Techniques

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-anonymized 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.
