Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging applications in urban environments, such as smart cities, IoT networks, and autonomous transportation, are driving the increasing demand for seamless and efficient communication systems. However, the complex and dynamic nature of urban environments, characterized by high node density, mobility, interference, and real-time data requirements, poses significant challenges to traditional signal processing and communication systems. This Special Issue aims to present novel signal processing techniques and intelligent communication algorithms designed to address these new issues in urban environmental systems. The scope of the issue includes channel modeling and prediction, novel modulation waveform technologies, intelligent transceiver design, integrated sensing and communication, digital twin technologies, intelligent network planning, optimization of UAV/vehicle networks, and RIS-assisted communication. The purpose of this Special Issue is to present state-of-the-art solutions that enhance the performance, scalability, and sustainability of urban communication networks, contributing to the advancement of smart city infrastructures.

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.
