IEEE PIMRC'15 CALL FOR PAPERS

The annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC) is one of the premier conferences in the wireless research arena and has a long history of bringing together academia, industry and regulatory bodies. Today, it has become one of the IEEE Communication Society's flagship conferences in wireless networking. In 2015, this important wireless event will be held in Hong Kong. PIMRC 2015 will include technical sessions, tutorials, workshops, and technology and business panels. You are invited to submit papers, and proposals for panels, tutorials, and workshops, in all areas of wireless communications, networks, services, and applications. The instructions for authors will be posted on the conference website.
