Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology has become a fundamental component of modern wireless communication systems. With the rapid evolution of 5G networks and the ongoing research toward 6G communications, MIMO systems continue to play a crucial role in improving spectral efficiency, reliability, and network capacity.
Recent advancements in communication technologies, system architectures, and signal processing techniques are further enhancing the performance and capabilities of next-generation MIMO systems. In particular, emerging technologies such as intelligent omni-surfaces (IOSs) and intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs), artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted communications, Terahertz (THz) transmission, and cell-free network architectures are creating new opportunities for advanced wireless networks.
At the same time, the range of applications supported by MIMO technologies is expanding rapidly. These applications include wireless localization and sensing, vehicular communications, non-terrestrial networks, remote sensing, and interplanetary communications, among others.
This Special Issue will present recent advances and emerging developments in MIMO-based wireless communication systems and networks. We invite researchers to submit original research articles or comprehensive review papers addressing theoretical developments, system design, and practical applications related to MIMO technologies.

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. 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.
