Special Stream in Wireless Systems

Wireless Systems are a precondition for many novel applications, especially around the mobile internet, the Internet of Things, and Industry 4.0. Wireless systems show a sustained and extremely high degree of innovation and are driving many other technologies.

The “Special Stream in Wireless Systems” explores novel ideas for the next generations of wireless systems and their applications. The special stream aims to bring together leading academic scientists and researchers to exchange their experiences and research results on all aspects of wireless systems. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges and solutions adopted in the fields of wireless systems along with establishing national and international cooperation for future research projects.

The stream will cover all relevant fields from the physical, hardware and coding for wireless radio technologies, architectures for wireless networks, advanced wireless and IoT applications, and smarts wireless systems.
