Focus:

PIMRC 2008 will provide a global forum for presenting the most recent advances, the future technical challenges and business opportunities that comprise the contemporary landscape in wireless communications. The organizers endeavour to attract contributions covering not only conventional areas of wireless communications (e.g., physical layer), but also emerging areas with high potential for essential scientific and societal impact such as wireless sensors for biomedical applications, non-trivial pervasive computing services and ambient technologies. The latter areas are expected to facilitate the development of a broad vision of innovative future applications in wireless communications. The high quality IEEE endorsed technical programme, will also include tutorials, workshops, exhibitions, panel discussions and keynote presentations from leading experts coming from the academic community, industry, as well as regulatory and standardisation bodies.

Call for Papers:
