First Call for Papers:

Extended Call for Papers:

The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted papers will be included in IEEE Xplore and additionally in printed proceedings with an ISBN number. Extended version of papers of special merit will be published in Telecommunication Systems Journal (Springer).

Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS. The total length of a paper should not exceed 6 pages formatted according to the instructions Template and Instructions on How to Create Your Paper, available at http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/
