Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fifth generation and beyond of communications holds great potential for changing the way we live. Pervasive connectivity will lead to revolutions within today’s society, including in areas such as connected healthcare, networked energy management, united transportation, and smart and secure living.
The enabling factor for any such development will be the progress in signal processing in wireless communications. Signal processing is the keystone technology, with the potential to significantly improve future communication systems. It is the core of modern communications and driven by the availability of very powerful and cost-effective silicon technologies, the physics of availing larger-spectrum zones, and materials allowing for connectivity to newer frontiers like space. This trio of developments has allowed signal processing algorithms to bloom in efficiency and maturity.
The challenges set for future communications, however, still need to be researched, particularly to enable the three pillars of 5G and beyond, namely massive connectivity via the IoT and other devices, extremely low latency (enabling applications like Cv2x and robotic surgery), and applications with high data demands like real-time multimedia and gaming.
The goal of this Special Issue is to present a collection of exciting papers reporting cutting-edge advances in signal processing for applications in wireless communications. Example topics of interest are the application of signal processing in such areas as:
- wireless, optical, and hybrid communications;
- full-duplex, massive MIMO, and mm-wave/THz communications;
- spectrum sensing, access, and co-habitation;
- integrated sensing and communication;
- compressive sensing;
- deep/machine learning;
- cyber–physical systems and in-the-loop communications;
- image and video applications in communication systems;
- quantum communication systems;
- software-defined radio and applications;
- smart and connected city-based applications;
- upcoming applications like Cv2x, satellite–terrestrial communications, and modern modulations;
- signal and pattern extraction from massive spatiotemporal data;
- FOG and Edge communications;
- wireless power transfer communications.

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.
