Scope
The IEEE GLOBECOM 2005 Wireless Communications Symposium will be held in St. Louis, Missouri. The Wireless Communications Symposium will include topics related to all aspects of wireless and mobile communications at all layers of the network protocol suite and all wireless communications systems including cellular networks, wireless LAN, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, and satellite systems. Submissions are now welcome original research papers covering the following topics. Topics are sub-categorized into three main streams of "Wireless Air Interface and Link Control," "Wireless Network and Transport," and "Wireless Services and Applications". Authors should specify at the time of submission to which topic(s) and stream their paper is best suited. For details about submission deadline, paper format, and on-line submission procedure please see the main GLOBECOM 2005 page.
