IMPORTANT DATES
Conference Dates: 10 January - 13 January 2025

Technical Papers due: July 1, 2024

Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2024

The IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC), sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, is a major annual international conference. Taking advantage of its co-location with the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which is the world's largest tradeshow on consumer technology, CCNC is organized with the objective of bringing together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry working in all areas of consumer communications and networking technologies. CCNC 2025 will feature high-quality keynotes, plenary talks, technical and industry papers, panels, tutorials, and demonstrations. In addition, the CCNC 2025 Organization Committee invites members of the research, development, and practitioner communities to submit Workshop and Special Session proposals. Workshops provide a forum for people to discuss areas of special interest with like-minded researchers and practitioners. Special Sessions complement the main program with new or emerging topics that are of particular interest to the consumer communications and networking community and may also cut across and beyond disciplines traditionally represented at CCNC. Research contributions are welcome in all areas pertinent to consumer communications and networking, including:
Edge/Cloud Computing and Networking
Networking Solutions for Metaverse, Social Applications, Multimedia, and Games
Testbeds, Experimentation and Datasets for Communications and Networking
Wireless Communications: Fundamentals, PHY and Above
Beyond 5G and Towards 6G
IoT: From Sensors to Vertical Applications
Security, Privacy, and Content Protection
Modeling, Simulations, and Digital Twins for Networking and Communications
Communications and Applications for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles on Land, Water, and Sky
AI/ML for Communications and Networking
Selected Topic - Millimeter-wave, Terahertz and Optical Communications and Networking
Selected Topic - Satellite Networks and Integrated Space-Air-Ground Networks
Selected Topic - Nano Communications and Networking
