*** First Call for Papers *** *** Call for Workshop Proposals *** The 10th IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications WiMob 2014 Golden Bay Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus October 8-10, 2014 http://conferences.computer.org/WiMob2014/ Deadline for Workshop Proposals: March 31, 2014 Deadline for Paper Submissions: May 1, 2014 (Proceedings will be published by IEEE) The IEEE WiMob conference is an international forum for the exchange of experience and knowledge among researchers and developers concerned with wireless and mobile technology. For nine years, the International IEEE WiMob conference has provided unique opportunities for researchers to interact, share new results, show live demonstrations, and discuss emerging directions in Wireless Communications, Mobile Networking and Ubiquitous Computing. IEEE WiMob 2014 will take place at Larnaca, Cyprus, between October 8 to 10th, 2014. It will be held at the Golden Bay Beach Hotel, a luxurious 5 star hotel situated in the favored south eastern region of Cyprus at the heart of the Bay of Larnaca. IEEE WiMob 2014 is soliciting high quality technical papers addressing research challenges in the areas of wireless communications, wireless networking, mobility, nomadicity, ubiquitous computing, services and applications. Papers should present original work validated via analysis, simulation or experimentation. Practical experiences and Testbed trials also are welcome. IEEE WiMob 2014 will host three parallel symposiums, including but not limited to the following topics: 1. Wireless Communications Broadband Wireless Communication Systems Signal Separation and Interference Rejection Wireless Personal Communications Multimedia Communications over Wireless Advances in Satellite Communication DSP Applications to Wireless Systems Adaptive Antennas for Wireless Systems Modulation and Coding Multiple Access Techniques Multiuser Detection Femtocells Channel Measurement and Characterization Location Estimation and Tracking OFDM and CDMA Technologies and Systems Resource Allocation and Interference Management MIMO Channels Multirate and Multicarrier Communications Link and System Capacity Spectrum Usage and Cognitive radio systems Cognitive and cooperative MAC Cognitive Radio Applications and Spectrum Management 2.
