Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Localization systems are systems that provide information on the positions of human, robot, and equipment to the users, and they have been used in various fields, such as factories, construction sites, and hospitals. In the future, localization systems will be used for more diverse fields, and more advanced localization systems will be needed. In recent years, the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) has accelerated research on advanced localization technologies because it requires accurate and reliable position information of various digital devices in cluttered indoor spaces. Localization systems typically use measurements of wireless signals, such as WiFi and UWB, and they are related to the fields of wireless communications. To compute the coordinates of targets, localization systems use some mathematical tools, such as least square methods or state estimation algorithms, which are related to the mathematical/control theory. In addition, localization systems are essential parts in the navigation of unmanned aerial/ground vehicles. Since the localization systems are related to the recently emerging technologies, we need to investigate state-of-the-art localization algorithms and their applications.
This Special Issue focuses on the recent developments of advanced localization systems, from theory to application. The specific topics of interest can include but are not limited to:
- Wireless communication technologies for advanced localization systems;
- Advanced localization algorithms;
- Applications of localization systems.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
