CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems 2006 6 - 8 September 2006, Valencia (Spain)
www.iswcs.org/iswcs2006
Technically co-sponsored by the IEEE and the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society
Wireless Communications are at the centre of a new and passionate era for telecommunications characterised by the convergence of systems and technologies, a transition towards all-IP networks, and the development of technologies with a user-centred focus. In this context, the International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS) is positioning itself as a recognised and dynamic forum for researchers and technologists to present and discuss original ideas and contributions in all fields related to mobile wireless communication systems.
The 3rd International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems intends to bring together leading wireless communication researchers and technologists willing to identify and discuss the most recent advances, the future technical challenges and business opportunities arising in the path towards the realisation of ambient wireless communication networks. Together with the technical sessions, the symposium will feature panel discussions and keynote presentations from leading wireless communication experts from industry, academia regulatory and standardisation bodies.
To realise its objectives, the organising and technical committees of the symposium are seeking original contributions in the areas of, but not limited to:
- IMT-2000 systems
- Beyond 3G and 4G systems
- Innovative concepts for future mobile and wireless communication systems
- Fixed and nomadic wireless access
- Relaying and user cooperation
- Spectrum sharing and coexistence
- Radio resource management and allocation
- Wireless access techniques
