Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless networks have become foundational technologies driving innovation across multiple domains. These technologies facilitate seamless connectivity and intelligent interactions between a myriad of devices, leading to enhanced efficiency, productivity, and user experiences. The Internet of Things (IoT) connects a myriad of devices and delivers sophisticated services across various domains via wireless networks, including healthcare, precision agriculture, home automation, and smart grids. Consequently, wireless networks and the IoT have garnered substantial attention from both academia and industry.

However, proactive measures like security protocols and algorithms are imperative to address anomalies resulting from the vast data generated by countless sensors embedded in smart objects. Additionally, traditional wireless networks and the IoT face several critical technical challenges: (1) ensuring robust security and privacy, (2) achieving interoperability across diverse IoT ecosystems, and (3) optimizing efficiency for resource-constrained environments.

This Special Issue aims to explore recent advancements, emerging trends, and innovative applications in the field of the IoT and wireless networks, with a particular focus on underlying protocols and algorithms. It also provides an opportunity for discussions to explore new challenges and frontiers in the various application fields of protocols, algorithms, and applications of wireless networks and the Internet of Things.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Security and privacy in wireless networks and IoT;
  • Cryptographic protocols for wireless networks and IoT;
  • Innovative application and architectures for wireless networks and IoT;
  • Signal-processing algorithms for wireless networks and IoT;
  • AI and ML algorithms for wireless networks and IoT;
  • Localization and tracking algorithms for wireless networks and IoT;
  • Synchronization algorithms for wireless networks and IoT;
  • Data transmission reduction in wireless networks and IoT;

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
