EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking
Special Issue on
Millimeter-Wave Wireless Communication Systems: Theory and Application
Call for Papers
In 2001, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reserved 7 GHz of unlicensed spectrum between 57 to 64 GHz for the purpose of wireless communications. As a results, the millimeter-wave- (mmWave-) based technology has received increased attention in both academia and industry for very high-data-rate wireless personal area network (WPAN) applications such as high-speed internet access, streaming content download (e.g., HDTV, home theater, etc.), real-time streaming, and wireless data bus for cable replacement. In addition to the high-data-rate applications, energy propagation in the 60 GHz band has unique characteristics that give many other benefits such as excellent immunity to interference, high security, and frequency reuse. This has been proven when an industrial standard such as IEEE 802.15.3c has been introduced to develop alternative PHY for the existing 802.15.3 WPAN Standard based on mmWave technology.
The aim of this special issue is to present research in mmWave communication systems with emphasis on future applications in wireless communications.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
o Radio propagation measurement and modeling o Antenna design o Transmission technologies (e.g., modulation and detection) o Algorithm and signal processing o Synchronization and channel estimation o Multiple access o Standardization and regulation issue (e.g., IEEE 802.15.43c) o RF transceiver frontend and subsystems design o System design, implementation, and performance o Circuit/RFIC design (e.g., SiGe, BiCMOS, CMOS, etc.) o Multiple-antenna system (e.g., mmWave-MIMO) o Wireless network and related issues o Applications
