San Diego (CA), USA
The 2009 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS 2009) will be held at the Omni Hotel, San Diego, CA, on 18 - 22 January 2009 as part of the Radio Wireless Week technical event. In addition to oral presentations and posters, RWS 2009 includes workshops, panels, and an exhibition. Others collocating in the event are the Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF) and the IEEE Topical Workshop on Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications (PA Symposium).
RWS 2009 sessions will highlight applications including (but not limited to): • 3G/4G Wireless Communication including Emergency/Location Services • Satellite Network and Wireless LAN Systems • Software Defined Radio/Cognitive Radio and other Emerging Technologies • 802.16/LMDS Broadband Fixed Wireless and Last-Mile Access Techniques • Wireless Mesh and Broadband Local/Personal Area Networks • Wireless Sensors and Ad Hoc Networks towards Anytime Anywhere Internetworking • Ultrawideband (UWB) Technologies • High-Power and Efficient RF Transmitters • Low-Power/Low Noise RF/Analog IC and System-On-Chip Solutions • Propagation, Channel Characterization and Fading Countermeasures • Heterogeneous Mobile Networks and Mobile Network Convergence • Wireless Security and RFID Technologies • Seamless Mobility and All-IP Mobile Networks • Multicasting and Broadcasting • Wireless Energy Transmission
Sessions will cover systems and enabling technologies in the areas of: • Wireless System Architecture, Integration, and Convergence Issues • Digital/Analog Adaptive/Collaborative Signal Processing • System Level Design, Modeling, and Simulation • MIMO/Space-Time Processing, Relaying Technology, and Smart Antennas • Signal Generation/Power Amplification, Linearization, and Active Components • Front-end Passive and Active Sub-systems • Cross-Layer Design • Radio on Fiber and optical techniques for UWB communications • Electrically Small Antennas and Handset Packaging
Workshop Proposals Proposals for workshop topics are solicited, and must be received by 18 June 2008. Details on the rocess and requirements can be found at www.radiowireless.org.
Paper Submission Instructions Authors must submit a summary (not more than 4 pages including figures) electronically using the www.radiowireless.org web page by 14 July 2008; this is a firm date and will be strictly enforced! Authors can indicate their preference for oral or poster presentation format but the Technical Program ommittee reserves the right regarding final presentation format decision. Please note that the only accepted file format is pdf. Submissions will be evaluated for originality, significance of the work, technical content, and interest to a wide audience. Authors will be notified by 10 September 2008. Final manuscripts of accepted papers (4 pages in length) must be received by 15 October 2008 to be included in the published Proceedings.
Registration This is an EOS co-sponsored event. Every EOS member is therefore entitled to register at the discounted IEEE rate.
