Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, device-to-device, vehicle-to-vehicle and machine-to-machine communications rely heavily on wireless communications. The 5G networks and future 6G mobile wireless networks use universal infrastructure, open network architectures, software-defined networks, virtualization of network functions, edge computing with multiple accesses, vehicular network, etc. Such massive demands can inevitably cause environmental problems on a global scale, making energy consumption a key issue. Hence, there is a strong need to shift to green communications. There are trends for reduced energy consumption, improvement of energy security, and accelerated transition to the so-called green energy and green economy.
This Special Issue aims to pave the way for new research toward green communication, and wireless and mobile communication technologies, based on contributions from machine learning, mobile edge computing, blockchain, and other fields of green technologies for sustainable engineering. High-quality papers selected from the CIEES 2023 (http://ciees.eu/) and EEPES 2024 (http://eepes.eu/) conferences will be invited to submit to this Special Issue for publication. However, this Special Issue also welcomes submissions from general researchers that fit within the scope of the SI as shown below. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Sensor system networks;
- Wireless and wireline communications;
- Beyond 5G and 6G access and core networks;
- Blockchain services and applications;
- Artificial intelligence and intelligent systems;
- Sensor system integration in smart cities and smart homes;
- Renewable energy sources;
- Intelligent sensing and energy engineering technologies;
- Green energy environment.

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.
