Aims & Scope: This special section aims to attract innovative research efforts associated with advanced antenna technologies for the next generation (5G) Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. Wireless IoT devices are expected to be ubiquitous in the near future. The nature of their applications is expanding along with the rapid development of 5G wireless systems. These wireless IoT applications have the promise to revolutionize many aspects of human life. They are being developed not only in consumer areas like communications, personal entertainment, smart homes, intelligent transportation systems, and smart cities, but also for security and healthcare applications. Evolving 5G IoT systems require cutting-edge antenna technologies to achieve their required performance characteristics. Advances in multi- functional electrically small antennas and rectennas for IoT modules and terminals, millimeter-wave technologies for ultra-high speed communications, wireless power transfer rectennas, antennas for sensing applications, reconfigurable antennas, and high directivity, compact antenna arrays for long distance communications are required. Original research works related to the above topics are especially welcomed and review articles that describe the current state of the art are also highly desired.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Electrically small antennas
• Rectennas
• Wireless power transfer technologies
• Antennas and arrays for sensing applications
• Compact antenna arrays
• Reconfigurable antennas
• Millimeter-wave antennas
• Wave propagation in IoT ecosystem
