Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless communications have emerged as a key technology that has changed our current society over the last two decades. However, their great popularity together with the increasing demand of new services makes the research in wireless communications a challenging field for the research community. Wireless technologies involve a wide range of expertise areas, from physical layer and electronics to application and architecture design. Moreover, as a consequence of the massive deployment of wireless networks, research must consider wireless network energy awareness and, also due to its crucial role in our economy, some cross-cutting issues like cybersecurity, reliability, and resilience must be taken into account.
This Special Issue calls for the submission of high-quality and unpublished papers discussing novel aspects and new paradigms of wireless networks. Both theoretical and experimental research papers are encouraged, as well as high-quality review and survey studies.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Mobile communications.
- Wireless networks models.
- Low-power wide area networks (LPWANs).
- Wireless machine-type communications (MTCs).
- Wireless IoT.
- Software-defined networking (SDN) in wireless environments.
- Software-defined radio.
- Vehicular networks.
- Energy harvesting for wireless systems.
- Green networking and energy-efficient wireless networks.
- Wireless sensor networks (WSNs).
- Mobile ad-hoc networking.
- Cognitive radio.
- Emerging wireless technologies.
- Wireless networks in health or industrial environments.
- Smart cities and smart homes.
- Indoor positioning systems.
- Multimedia, QoS, and QoE over wireless systems.
- Design of reliable and resilient wireless networks.
- Cybersecurity and security threats in wireless networks.
- Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
- Antenna design and MIMO.
- Standards and certification: 5G and 6G, NFC, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi, 6LoWPAN, IEEE 802.22, MIOTY, NEOCORTEC, ANT and ANT+, IQRF, LiFi, LoRa, NB-IoT, Sigfox, etc.
- Regulatory issues.

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. Telecom is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
