Sponsoring Technical Committees Communication Theory Wireless Communications
Scope The goal of the Communication Theory Symposium is to explore the fundamentals of communication systems, with particular emphasis on wireless and wire-line communications. The symposium welcomes original research in these general areas focusing on physical-layer as well as interactions with higher-layers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, modulation, channel coding, detection and estimation, source coding, joint source-channel coding, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, cooperative communications, cognitive radio, signal processing and information theory for ad-hoc and sensor networks, optical communications, advanced multiple access strategies, network information theory, and network coding. Research on communication theory that relates to networking, genetics, bioinformatics, and quantum information processing are also encouraged.

Presentation Style The Globecom 2009 Technical Program Committee will go through a rigorous process to review all the papers submitted and select the best ones among them. The accepted papers will be presented in the conference either in a lecture style or in a poster style format. This distinction has no relationship with the quality of the accepted papers whatsoever. It is purely due to the limitations of the conference rooms available for lecture style presentations. Papers will be selected for lecture-style or poster-style presentation, solely based on the need to ensure topic homogeneity in lecture-style sessions. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and IEEExplore without any indication of the presentation mode. |
