Scope

At the present time, low-cost and light-weight transceivers are being incorporated into real-time powerful digital signal processing platforms. More and more signal processing modules are being studied and designed to provide innovative solutions to new communication standards and technologies Consequently, advanced signal processing techniques are helping communication systems to rapidly progress into a new era. The Signal Processing for Communications Symposium welcomes papers dealing with the algorithmic and implementation aspects within the topics listed below. Of special interest are the design of new algorithms and schemes for communication systems, as well as performance analysis and practical implementation. The emerging issues which are addressed in this symposium include, but are not limited to, distributed estimation and detection, low-power and low-complexity signal processing modules, cross-layer optimization for signal quality enhancement, advanced beamforming, jointly optimal solutions for modulation, coding, estimation, synchronization and detection, channel modeling and its effects for transmitter/receiver adaptation, and spectrum sensing. Also of great interest are state-of-the-art signal processing methodologies, theories and practices in prevalent communication standards such as 3G/4G, LTE/LTA, WLAN, WMAN, WiMAX, UWB.

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.
