Remote Sensing-Based Intelligent Communication

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasing emergence of new Internet services (e.g., metaverse, extended reality, etc.), how to achieve efficient data processing and distribution is a key issue to be solved urgently in future wireless networks. Remote sensing-based intelligent communication can be studied to meet the differentiated requirements of these delay-sensitive and computing-intensive services. Specifically, based on the remote sensing network information, a system can make intelligent decisions to boost data distribution. Meanwhile, the adoption of mobile edge computing can process data at the edge of the remote sensing system, reducing cross-network traffic and transmission delay. Therefore, network performance and resource utilization can be significantly improved by sensing-based intelligent communication. However, realizing sensing-based intelligent communication in practical communication scenarios is challenging, and there are still many important open research problems. This Special Issue seeks to explore sensing-based intelligent communication and invites novel contributions from researchers and practitioners.

This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for the latest research, innovations, and applications of remote sensing-based intelligent communication, in order to bridge the gap between theory and applications. We solicit high-quality original research papers on topics including, but not limited to:

1. Surveys about remote sensing-based intelligent communication;
2. Remote sensing architecture design and optimization algorithms;
3. Deep learning-based data processing;
4. Reinforcement learning-based data distribution;
5. Efficient allocation of heterogeneous resources;
6. Cooperative edge computing;
7. Intelligent network control.

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.
