Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As emerging and promising candidates for 6G, visible light communications and other emerging wireless optical techniques are earning increasing attention and investigation from both the wireless communication and the optical communication communities. These various and distinct hybrid techniques open novel research opportunities for numerous application scenarios, including but not limited to indoor wireless communications, indoor positioning and sensing, wireless backhaul, vehicular applications, underwater wireless applications, satellite applications, underground wireless applications, high-speed train applications, healthcare wireless applications, retro reflection communications applications, unmanned aerial vehicular wireless applications, and other developing fields.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together the research accomplishments provided by researchers from academia and industry. The main goal is to show the latest research works in the field of visible light communications and positioning as well as hybrid optical wireless techniques, especially for empowering 6G development. We encourage prospective authors to submit related research papers on the following subjects: emerging wireless optical communications; visible light communications, positioning and sensing; hybrid optical wireless; free-space optics; radio over fiber; THz communications; and B5G/6G.

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. Inventions 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 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.
