____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Technically sponsored by IEEE Communication Society

The objective of this symposium is to provide a forum for researchers and technologists to present new ideas and contributions in the form of technical papers, panel discussions as well as testbed implementations and real-world evaluation of many ideas in wireless communications. This second symposium, intends to bring together various wireless communication systems developers to discuss the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications in the form of panels and tutorials. ISWCS'05 seeks to address and capture highly innovative and state of the art research from the wireless industry. The scope of the conference includes a wide range of technical challenges in view of the growing interest for wireless access to Internet, the evolution of future wireless communications with access across hybrid platforms, the definition of a crosslayer design for improving the efficiency and the performance of the air interface. 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: 

. Hybrid wireless communication systems
. Radio resource management and allocation
. Wireless access techniques
. Cross-layer air interface design
. Mobile Internet
. Innovation in satellite communications
. Wireless privacy and security
. Wireless services and applications
. Wireless IP
. Wireless network architecture and technologies systems
. Digital signal processing
. MANET
. End-to-End QoS provision
. Coding modulation and equalization
. DVB and DAB techniques
. Novel wireless switching and routing techniques
. Mobility management
. Antenna and RF subsystems
