Integrated circuits (ICs) play the core role in communication and network system. Driven by the new communication application and the semiconductors technology/process progress, system-on-chips are facing a lot of challenges: algorithms/architectures of communications such as LTE/LTE-A, 5G etc., ultra-low power consumption implementation, highly dense integration, multi-core/Network-on-Chip (NoC), scalable/reconfigurable/parallel architecture, packaging technology, new design methodologies, etc., numerous research groups in academia, industry, and government are currently investigating the issues involved in improving the performance, power consumption, reliability, and other characteristics of communication System-on-Chips (SoC) and seeking new ways to advance the state of the art in wireless/wireline communication as well as the emerging quantum communication fields.
The goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers working on improvements at all aspects of communication system-on-chip, thereby enabling the sharing and adaptation of ideas and the latest progress. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions on all aspects of communication chips,
5.Wireless Systems and Networks Symposium
