The 2010 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS2010) will be held the week of January 10, 2010 in New Orleans, LA. This year, several exciting topics are being highlighted at RWS, and RWS10 and SiRF10 will hold more joint sessions to highlight the indispensable use of silicon in modern wireless systems. The first topic that RWS will highlight is RF power amplifiers, and the second topic is biomedical applications of microwave systems, and Sensors and Sensor Networks. Each of these topics will have a separate track of sessions over a two day period, organized separately, with their own call for papers. In addition to these topics, RWS invites papers on all areas of radio and wireless systems, including but not limited to:
- 3G/4G Wireless Communication Services
- Satellite Network Systems
- Wireless LAN Systems
- Software Defined/Cognitive Radio and other Emerging Technologies
- 802.16/LMDS Broadband Fixed Wireless Techniques and Last-Mile Access Techniques
- Wireless Mesh and Broadband Local/Personal Area Networks
- Wireless Sensor Technologies
- RFID Systems and Applications
- Spectrum Sensing Technologies
- Powerline Communication Technologies
- RF Tracking and Positioning Devices
- Ad Hoc Network Techniques for Anytime, Anywhere Internetworking
- Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Systems
- Microwave Energy Transmission
- Propagation and Channel Characterization and Modeling for RF and THz Systems
- Heterogeneous Mobile Networks and Mobile Network Convergence
- Multicasting and Broadcasting
- High Data Rate THz Communication Links, and THz Imaging Radar
Papers describing technologies that enable Radio and Wireless Systems are welcome including:
- Transmitter Components
- Receiver Components
- Highly Integrated Packaging
- Multilayer integration of RF, energy and snsing components
- Electrically Small, MIMO, and Smart Antennas
- Signal Generation and Modulation Circuits
- Methods of Maintaining Signal Integrity
- RF/Optical, Optical, and Fiber Techniques
Paper submission instructions will be found at http://www.radiowireless.org/. Submissions should be properly formatted with all figures included within a maximum of four pages. Only electronic submissions in pdf format will be accepted for review. Authors should indicate their preference for oral or poster presentation. All submissions must be received by August 2, 2009. All accepted papers will be published in a digest and be included in IEEE Explore.
Submissions will be evaluated based on novelty, significance of the work, technical content, interest to the audience, and presentation. A student paper competition will be held, and prizes will be given at the conference banquet.
