Technical Program

SPAWC 2011, the twelfth IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances for Wireless Communications is devoted to recent advances in signal processing for wireless and mobile communications. This workshop brings together members of the signal processing, communications, information and network theory communities, working in universities, government and industrial research centers.

The meeting will feature keynote addresses by leading researchers, as well as invited and contributed papers. SPAWC 2011 will be held from June 26, 2011 to June 29, 2011 in San Francisco, USA.
