Scope and Motivation

The Communication Theory Symposium aims to provide the state-of-the-art research towards understanding the fundamentals of communication systems including that of wireless, mobile and wire-line communication systems. The symposium welcomes original research in the general areas of wireless and wire-line communication theory, with focus on physical-layer as well as certain higher-layer issues including source coding, channel coding, modulation, detection and estimation, joint source-channel coding, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, optical communication, cooperative communications, signal processing as applied to ad-hoc and sensor networks, information theory for mobile ad hoc networks, cognitive radios, advanced multiple access strategies, network information theory, network coding, and security. Research results on communication theory that impact other disciplines such as networking, genetics, bioinformatics, and quantum information processing are also encouraged.
