Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The booming deployment of multimedia services, especially high-quality on-demand services, has created fundamental changes in network architecture, from abstraction separation to the service management aspects. Industrial development and academic research are promoting 5G as the next generation of networks which can support vertical applications with different service requirements. To achieve this vision, the 5G physical network should be portioned from different independent logical connections that are composed of different characteristics and requirements. With the advantages of bandwidth, spectrum congestion, coexistence with lighting systems, and radiation exposure, visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a complementary technology and a valued contributor to both the present communication networks and the next generation of radio frequency wireless communication. This technology is a candidate for 5G development by enormous demand, supporting different 5G requirements and benchmarks. Following the development of VLC, optical camera communication (OCC) or visible light sensor (VLS) is classified by the separation of the receiver technique, image sensor, or photodiode. The development and performance of both visible light communications and optical camera communications are evaluated based on the application scenarios and topologies. This Special Issue is expected to provide the interdisciplinary proposals which enhance visible light communication and optical camera communication development, on the side of modulations, applications, performance evaluation, and related 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. 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.
