Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The number of devices equipped with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is expected to grow to 8 billion by 2020. This is related to the increasing number of GNSS satellite constellations. Two constellations have already declared their full operational capability. Namely, the Global Positioning System (GPS; U.S. Air Force), completed in 1994; the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS; Russian Federal Space Agency) completed in 1995 (and restored in 2011). Two additional constellations are being completed—the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS; China National Space Administration) and the Galileo (European Commission).
Together, these four GNSSs account for more than 100 satellites. This fact constitutes an unprecedented frame to improve radio-navigation and atmospheric-sounding techniques, in which the processing of GNSS data is of the utmost importance. This Special Issue targets the study of all of the aspects that can improve satellite-based navigation, with a focus on real-time and on exploiting the multi-constellation paradigm.

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.
