Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing demand for connectivity has led to networking most of the devices around to form the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT has facilitated the modern day requirements of dense connectivity. However, at the same time, this exponential connectivity raises an astronomically large number of network issues related to performance, modelling, maintenance, and security. With the adaptation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the focus has been on making IoT smarter and more effective, requiring better mobility management, adaptive connectivity, self-learning, and fault tolerance. However, attaining these features becomes critical when the network is diverse, distributed, and follows a hierarchical non-flat layout. Several dependencies in the network affect the operations of the IoT devices. Another issue to highlight is the computational complexity of the solutions operating on the IoT. Given the limitations of size, memory utilization, and battery consumption, the solutions built for IoT must be lightweight, flexible, and exceptionally reliable. Based on the current standings, we are inviting researchers to submit their original work to understand the impact and recent advances in efficient and smart mobile Internet of Things (M-IoT).
This Special Issue solicits the submission of high-quality unpublished papers that aim to solve and understand open technical problems and challenges typical of smart IoT. The main aim is to integrate solutions focusing on performance evaluation and comparison with existing solutions to resolve to attain efficient and smart M-IoT. High-quality review and survey papers are also welcomed. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Efficient computational schemes for smart M-IoT;
- Transfer learning solutions in smart M-IoT;
- Decentralized architectures for smart M-IoT;
- Efficient and secure mobility management in M-IoT;
- Verifiable mechanisms for Trust in M-IoT;
- Blockchain-driven M-IoT architectures;
- User-authentication and authorization in smart M-IoT;
- AI solutions for adaptive security in smart M-IoT;
- Flexible security for smart M-IoT;
Federated learning-based on-device computations in M-IoT

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.
