Papers presenting previously unpublished results on theoretical aspects of communication systems in the following and related areas are solicited (maximum paper length is 6 pages):

coded modulation
coding theory and practice
communication systems
channel characteristics and modeling
detection and estimation
OFDM and DMT processing techniques
ultra-wide band communications
DSP for communications
information theory and statistics
iterative decoding algorithms
multiuser detection
cross-layer PHY-MAC-NET arrangements
fourth generation cellular systems
blind signal separation techniques

All contributed papers will be subject to peer review. Accepted papers will appear in full in the published proceedings and will therefore be fully DEST-compliant. Similar to previous years, arrangements are being made so that the papers appear in IEEEXplore. Accepted papers will be assigned a slot for presentation in the poster sessions. The standard of accepted submissions will be equivalent to that of Globecom or ICC.
