PIMRC 2013 - 2013 IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications

The annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC) is one of the premier conferences in the wireless research arena and has a long history of bringing together academia, industry and regulatory bodies. Today, it has become one of the IEEE Communication Society’s flagship conferences in wireless networking. After a long absence from the UK, this important wireless event will be returning to London in 2013. PIMRC 2013 will include technical sessions, tutorials, workshops, and technology and business panels. You are invited to submit papers, and proposals for panels, tutorials, and workshops, in all areas of wireless communications, networks, services, and applications.
