Scope and Motivation

The goal of the Communication Theory Symposium is to explore the fundamentals of communication systems, with particular emphasis on wireless and wire-line communications. The symposium welcomes original research in these general areas focusing on physical-layer as well as interactions with higher-layers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, modulation, channel coding, detection and estimation, source coding, joint source-channel coding, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, cooperative communications, cognitive radio, communication theory in ad-hoc and sensor networks, optical communications, advanced multiple access strategies, network information theory, and network coding. Research on communication theory that relates to networking, genetics, bioinformatics, and quantum information processing are also encouraged.
