Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the growing development of artificial intelligence, its application in solving practical problems in sensor networks and communication has become a popular topic. Using AI technologies may offer new opportunities to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and usability of sensing, communication, networking, etc., with sensors.
This Special Issue therefore aims to collect original research and review articles on the recent advances, technologies, solutions, and applications, as well as new challenges, in the field of sensor networks and communication with AI.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Edge and cloud computing;
- Embedded and energy-harvesting systems;
- Backscatter communication and wireless power;
- Implantable and wearable computing;
- Millimeter-wave and terahertz communications;
- Mobile health;
- Applications of machine learning to mobile/wireless research;
- Transfer learning and domain adaptation for mobile applications;
- Large language models (LLMs) and generative AI for mobile and wireless systems;
- The next generation of mobile networks (5G, 6G and beyond);
- Mobile web, video, virtual reality, augmented reality and other applications;
- Novel applications of wireless signals;
- Vehicular, robotic and drone-based networking;
- Communication with reconfigurable and intelligent reflective surfaces, meta materials, and flexible surfaces;
- Sensing with radio, light, sound, and acoustics;
- Smart cities and smart spaces (e.g., smart factories, smart workspaces, smart agriculture, urban mobility);
- Ubiquitous computing and mobile human–computer interaction;
- Underwater networking and sensing;
- Visible light communications;
- Wireless localization and tracking;
- Reducing the carbon footprint of wireless networks and mobile devices.

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.
