Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, higher frequency bands, especially millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands, have been utilized to improve the transmission data rate for fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G (B5G) wireless communication systems. As the frequency increases, the available bandwidth increases, while the wave length decreases. More antenna elements are required to compensate for the high path loss, blockage, gas absorption, etc. Advanced antenna designs and technologies need to be explored, such as (ultra-)massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), holographic MIMO, and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) communications. The emerging new application scenarios, such as integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and maritime communications at mmWave bands, are promising. MmWave channel measurements, characteristics analysis, and channel modeling are also important for system design and performance evaluation.
This Special Issue therefore aims to bring together original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the field of mmWave wireless communication systems.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced mmWave antenna design;
- Massive MIMO, ultra-massive MIMO, and holographic MIMO communications at mmWave bands;
- RIS communications at mmWave bands;
- ISAC at mmWave bands;
- MmWave UAV communications;
- MmWave maritime communications;
- MmWave communication channel measurements;
- MmWave communication channel characterization;
- MmWave communication channel modeling;
- Multi-frequency cooperation algorithms design.

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. Sensors 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.
