Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Professor H. Vincent Poor’s transformative contributions have fundamentally shaped modern information theory, wireless communications, and signal processing. His pioneering research spans foundational theoretical frameworks, from network information theory and information–theoretic security to the unification of estimation theory and information–theoretic principles. His insights have revolutionized wireless communications, cellular architectures, cooperative networks, and the analysis of feedback systems, while his explorations of MIMO systems, fading channels, and cross-disciplinary frameworks continue to inspire breakthroughs at the intersection of theory and practice.
This Special Issue—on the occasion of Prof. Poor’s 75th birthday—will collect invitation-only high-quality papers exploring topics central to Prof. Poor’s legacy, including the following:
- Information–theoretic security;
- Network information theory;
- Wireless systems;
- Statistical signal processing;
- Emerging intersections (such as smart grids, network security, efficient machine learning for engineering);
- Unifying frameworks (such as information–theoretic perspectives on estimation, sensing, and communications).
Submissions should demonstrate explicit connections to information theory. We particularly seek high-quality tutorial/review papers synthesizing recent advances in the above areas, shaped also by Prof. Poor’s fundamental results. Original contributions presenting exceptionally significant novel results are also welcome.

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. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
