Areas of Interest and Scope

We invite the submission of high-quality manuscripts on advances in the state-of-the-art of wireless communications. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged.

The general scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:

 

  • Broadband wireless communications

  • Modulation and coding

  • Detection and estimation

  • Diversity techniques and equalization

  • Propagation and channel characterization

  • Signal separation and interference rejection

  • Multimedia communications over wireless

  • DSP applications to wireless systems

  • Network architectures and protocols

  • Adaptive antennas for wireless systems

  • Multiple access techniques  

  • Space-time processing

  • Synchronization techniques

  • Location estimation

  • Software radio

  • Tracking

  • Resource allocation and interference management

  • Multirate and multicarrier communications

  • Security, privacy, and authentication

  • Experimental and prototype results

  • Systems and services (e.g., Mobile satellites, WLANs)

  • Wireless sensor networks

  • Cross-layer design and optimization

  • Ad hoc wireless networks

In addition, papers on specific topics or on more non-traditional topics related to specific application areas, are encouraged.  Examples include OFDM, MIMO systems, Cooperative networks, Cognitive radio, and Ultra-wideband communications.
