Call-For-Papers:
IEEE WCNC 2019 (Wireless Communications and Networking Conference)
Seoul, Korea
6-9 April 2020
https://wcnc2020.ieee-wcnc.org/
Full paper submission deadline: Oct. 4, 2019
Notification of acceptance: Dec. 31, 2019
IEEE WCNC is one of the main venues for researchers, industry
professionals, and academics interested in the most advanced and recent
contributions to wireless communications, especially regarding the design
and development of wireless systems and networks. Sponsored by the IEEE
Communications Society, IEEE WCNC has a long history of connecting
industry, academia, and regulatory bodies. In 2020, other than mesmerizing
its visitors by its beauty, Seoul as the capital of Korea will become the
premium venue of the wireless by hosting WCNC‘20. The conference will
include technical sessions, tutorials, workshops, and technology/business
panels. You are invited to submit papers in all areas of wireless
communications and networks. Potential topics include, but are not limited
