Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 enable interconnection among industrial machines, devices, processes, and the people using them across diverse industrial verticals such as manufacturing and its logistical supply chain, transportation, and healthcare. According to the latest Statistica report, the size of the IIoT market is expected to increase up to USD 110.6 billion by 2025. Meanwhile, the sixth generation (6G) wireless communication networks are envisioned to revolutionize services and applications towards a future of fully intelligent and autonomous industrial network systems. 6G is expected to provide an entirely new service quality and enhance user experiences based on novel and fundamental technologies such as integrated sensing, positioning and communication, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, edge intelligence, etc. Thus, exploring the emerging opportunities brought by 6G technologies for IIoT networks and applications is crucial and valuable.
This Special Issue the aims to provide the scientific community with a comprehensive overview of innovative 6G technologies, advanced architectures, and potential challenges for IIoT. The symmetry/asymmetry features in the design of future network systems may benefit in topology, communications, protocols, etc., which requires further exploration and investigation.
Prospective authors are invited to submit original manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- integrated sensing, positioning and communication for IIoT
- reconfigurable intelligent surfaces for IIoT
- edge intelligence for IoT
- massive URLL communications for IoT
- Mm-wave and terahertz communications for IoT
- non-orthogonal multiple access for IoT
- massive MIMO for IoT
- experimental demonstrations and prototypes for 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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2000 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.
