Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging networking technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT) help to transform the way we live, work, and interact with the surrounding environment. Recent wireless and mobile technologies (e.g., LPWAN, Wi-Fi 6, 5G/6G), edge computing, software-based networking, and other emerging paradigms promise to foster a wide range of IoT applications in areas such as smart living, industry, and healthcare, among many others.
The relevance of research and new developments in emerging networking technologies for IoT environments lies in the potential to address the main challenges and limitations of many current IoT solutions, namely: (i) supporting low-power low-bandwidth communications over long distances; (ii) allowing high-speed, low-latency, and high-reliability communications, providing more responsive processing for IoT applications and devices; (iii) bringing computation and data storage closer to data production; and (iv) providing more secure, scalable, interoperable, and cost-effective IoT network connectivity.
Topics of interest in the Special Issue include (but are not limited to) one or more of the following topics:
- LPWAN technologies;
- 5G/6G support for IoT environments;
- Emerging wireless network architectures and protocols for IoT;
- Challenges and solutions in sensor networks;
- Cloud/Fog/Edge architectures and solutions for IoT;
- SDN/NFV in IoT context;
- Green IoT network technologies;
- Emerging paradigms and technologies for managing and monitoring IoT networks;
- IoT network traffic modelling and characterization (AI-based or other);
- Performance and quality metrics for evaluating IoT networks and services;
- Emerging network models for IoT security, privacy, and trust;
- Innovative network solutions for Industrial 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. 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.
