Channel Modeling and Simulation in Wireless Communications

Dear Colleagues,

Electromagnetic waves propagate through environments where they are reflected, scattered, and diffracted by walls, buildings, and other objects. Theoretically, the detailed analysis of such a propagation may be performed by a solution of Maxwell’s equations with corresponding boundary conditions that characterize the propagation environment. Nevertheless, these calculations are difficult, and the precise values of the required parameters are often non-available. Practically, different approximations for propagation modeling have been developed for a variety of different frequencies and communication scenarios.

The statistical simulation of communication scenarios is a common practice for an algorithm performance analysis and a further design of communication systems. Such simulations are typically tightly related to a channel model and reflect channel variability over time.

This Special Issue is addressed to all types of channel modeling and simulation for future wireless communications.

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.
