Low Power Wireless Sensing and Internet of Things

Dear Colleagues,

Low-power, economical wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is the technology that will bring shared intelligence to objects in the Internet of Things (IoT). To meet the scalability requirements for ubiquitous IoT connectivity, ultra-low-power radios are needed and suitable interoperable protocols must be standardized to assure safe, secure and efficient machine-to-machine coordination. Additionally these low-layer radio and MAC layer protocols must be integrated into lightweight operating systems and serve as the foundation for Web-based applications that utilize IPv6 over the Internet. This special issue focuses on concepts that connect and enhance low-power wireless sensing with the Internet of Things.

Circuit technology that support the timing mechanisms for sensor platform operations and efficient, secure radio communication among smart objects are the subject of this issue. Papers that consider standardized protocol developments that work with sensor platforms are encouraged. Also, concepts at the interface between MAC layer protocols that support IoT applications and the underlying low-power circuitry are highly encouraged.

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. Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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.
