Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to the Workshop on Communications in Underground and Confined Environments in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Communications which will be held on June 10-14, 2014, in Sydney, Australia.

Ubiquitous wireless communications are often described as the next telecom frontier. As such, in-building environments have received huge attention for this purpose but other peculiar environments present significant opportunities and specific niche vertical markets for the wireless industry.

This workshop is a forum for academic researchers, professionals and industrial specialists that are interested in or have realized original research, innovative applications, or field trials related to telecommunications in a confined area (basement, vehicle) or an underground environment (e.g. underground city, tunnels, subway, mine, shelter). This workshop will be focusing on Antennas & Propagation Channel Modeling, Smart Antennas, Wireless Networks, Prediction Tools and admissible topics include but are not limited to the following:

Access & Transmission: Channel Allocation, Medium Access Control, Modulation, Coding, MIMO Systems Networks: Ad-Hoc Networks, Wireless Local Area Networks, Mesh Networks, Sensor Networks, Linear Sensor Networks Network Planning and Deployment: Architecture, Protocols, Handover, Roaming, QoS Performance Measurements Location Systems: Algorithms, Simulation, Implementations Automation: Autonomous Vehicles, Telemetry, Remote Control Inter/Intra-Vehicle Wireless Communication: Location Techniques, Obstacle Detection, Target Tracking, Collision Avoidance Role of Wireless Telecommunications in the Industries and Confined Areas of the Future Communications via Unusual Channel: Wireless Intra-Body Networking

The deadline for submitting papers is 31st of December 2013 .

Sincerely,

Gérard Chalhoub On behalf of the Workshop Co-Chairs gerard.chalhoub@udamail.fr Workshop website: http://wcuce2014.gel.ulaval.ca
