5G and Wireless Networks Communications

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, 5G wireless communication has greatly attracted the attention of the research community in both industry and academia, owing to the promises of 5G to overcome the limited bandwidth and data rates of the 4G standard, together with the ability to support the expected mobile traffic explosion and IoT. High data rates and/or high operating frequencies in 5G systems require developing new communication networks with modified hardware and software, which include communication channel modeling, antenna and mm-wave circuit design, sensor design, IoT implementation, and so on. Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to present the latest technologies and developments in 5G-related subsystems. All researchers in the field are invited to contribute with their original, unpublished works. Both research and review papers are welcome.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• 5G wireless communications:
  • Network architectures;
  • Green wireless networks;
  • MIMO systems;
  • Channel modeling;
  • Microwave/mm-wave circuits;
  • Antennas and integrated antennas;
• IoT within the 5G context:
  • Green IoT;
  • Integrated RFIDs;
  • Sensor networks;
  • Intelligent sensors;
  • Active and passive sensors;
  • Smart objects;
  • Device-to-device (D2D) communications;
  • Localization.

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. Information 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 1800 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.
