The first International Symposium on Telecommunications (IST) will be
organized by the Iran Telecommunication Research Center (ITRC). The
symposium will be sponsored by IEEE, IEE and ICT. It aims to provide a
broad international forum as well as an outstanding opportunity for
scientific researchers, academicians and telecommunication engineers
to discuss new and emerging technologies, progress in standards,
services and their applications in telecommunication and information
systems. The conference will feature world-renowned plenary speakers,
tutorial presentations and focused mini-symposia.
Scope
Topics to be addressed include, but are not limited to the following:
Signal processing for communications
Personal communication networks and systems
Broadband ISDN and ATM high-speed networks and systems
New network services and applications
Network management
Network architectures and standards
Intelligent networks and communications software systems
Electronic commerce
Adaptive communications
Multimedia (speech, image and video) communications
Interconnection networks
Optical communications and networking
Wireless systems

Mini-Symposium
A more Focused Mini-Symposium Will be Organized By Dr. Guy Omidyar
Mini-Symposium on Mobile and Wireless Communication Networks:
Integration of fixed and portable wireless access technologies and
mobility features into fixed and mobile IP networks present a
cost effective and efficient way to provide seamless end-to-end
connectivity and ubiquitous access in a market where demands on
wireless networks have grown rapidly and which is predicted to
generate billions of dollars in revenue. The deployment of broadband
cellular-based technologies including demand for internet mobility and
their integration with emerging Broadband Wireless Access Networks
(BWANs) are becoming increasingly important. Mobility and connection
management, location management, connection establishment, quality
of service, provisioning for voice, video, image and data are
some of the focus areas of this Mini-symposium. Contributions from
standardization and research consortiums are accepted on mobile,
satellite and personal communication- from 3rd to 4th generations,
Wireless Applications Protocols (WAP), 3GPP and UMTS/IMT2000.
Topics to be covered in the technical session of this Mini-Symposium
include but are not limited to:
Models of mobile and wireless networks
Wireless system modeling and validation, efficient
approximations, algorithmic techniques, design optimization,
and end-to-end performance models
Wireless tele-traffic study and traffic characterization and
management
Wireless LAN architectures
Radio interface
Mobility management and roaming
Mobile multimedia networking
Wireless security
Wireless in the local loops
Wireless and mobile cellular internet
Mobile and wireless ATM networks
Multiple access techniques
Experimental on mobile and wireless networks and trials
Satellite network architecture
Signal processing for wireless
Medium of Presentation: ENGLISH
