SPAWC 2012 - 2012 IEEE 13th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC 2012)

SPAWC 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.

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in the following areas:
? Smart antennas, MIMO systems, and space-time coding
? Single-carrier, multi-carrier, and multi-rate systems
? Multiple access and broadcast channels, multi-user receivers
? Fundamental limits on capacity and performance analysis
? Cross-layer issues: from physical to networking and application layers
? Signal processing tools for ad hoc, multi-hop, and sensor networks
? Cooperative transmission and reception schemes
? Cognitive networking
? Distributed resource allocation and scheduling
? Ultra-wideband radio and RFID
? Time, frequency, spatial, multi-user diversity in fading channels
? Modeling, estimation and equalization of time-varying channels
? Acquisition, synchronization, and tracking (data aided or blind)
? Signal separation, and interference rejection
? Spread-spectrum systems
? Source-channel coding
? Low-complexity implementations
? Novel communication modalities
