WCSP 2017 - Ninth International Conference on Wireless Communications and Signal Processing

The annual International Conference on Wireless Communications and Signal Processing (WCSP) aims to provide a forum that brings together International researchers from academia and practitioners in industry to meet and exchange ideas and recent research work on all aspects of wireless communications and signal processing. Following the great success of WCSP’09-16, the ninth edition of the event, WCSP 2017, will be held in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, on October 11-13, 2017. The conference will feature keynote speeches and technical sessions, and will be co-located with IEEE 5G Summit, which will be held on October 14, 2017.
The conference will be technically sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Communications Society Nanjing Chapter, IEEE Signal Processing Society Nanjing Chapter, and IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Nanjing Chapter. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the WCSP 2017 Conference Proceedings and submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. All papers published in the WCSP 2009-2016 Proceedings have already been included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library and indexed by EI Compendex.
