Scope of the Symposium

The Wireless Communications Symposium will cover all aspects related to wireless communications and its applications, with a focus on topics related to Physical layer (PHY), MAC layer, Cross-layer, and Physical layer-related network analysis and design. High quality papers reporting on novel and practical solutions to PHY, MAC and cross-layer design in wireless communication systems are encouraged. In addition, papers on field tests and measurements, field trials and applications from both industries and academia are of special interest. To ensure complete coverage of the advances in wireless communications technologies for current and future wireless systems, the Wireless Communications Symposium cordially invites original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas:
