Wireless Communications is at the center of a new and passionate era characterized by smart and flexible transceiver concepts, the convergence of systems and technologies, a transition towards all-IP networks and the development of technologies with a user-centric focus. In this context, the International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS) is positioning itself as a recognised and dynamic forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry to present and discuss original ideas and contributions in all fields related to mobile wireless communication systems.

The aim of this symposium is to present novel contributions in the form of tutorials, panel discussions, keynote speeches, technical papers, posters and testbed implementations. ISWCS’11 seeks to address and capture highly innovative and state-of-the-art research from academia, the wireless industry and standardization bodies. The scope of the conference includes a wide range of technical challenges encompassing wireless communications, quality of service support, wireless networking, signal processing, cross-layer air interface design, wireless broadband access and cooperative communication.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to

• Cooperative communication and relaying

• Cognitive radio

• Radio resource management

• Wireless access techniques

• Cross-layer air interface

• Information and communication theory

• Bio-inspired communications

• Signal processing, including VLSI architectures
