2002 International Conference on 3G Wireless and Beyond
San Fransiso USA
May 28-31 2002

                        CALL FOR SUBMISSION


The 3G Wireless Technical Forum, Wireless Mobile ATM Task Force,
IEEE Technical Subcommittee on 3Gwireless and Beyond, and IEEE
local chapters (pending) in Silicon Valley announce a forthcoming
International Conference on Third Generation Wireless and Beyond to
be held on May 28 thru 31, 2002 in San Francisco (Silicon Valley)
of United States, with numerous workshops, tutorials as well as
business panel sessions on this significant next wireless storm.

There has been tremenduous interest recently in third generation
(3G) wireless mobile systems and beyond (4G). 3Gwireless, scheduled
to start services around the year 2001, has been the very hot
subject of much research and many standardization activities
throughout the world. Many 3G/4G related study committees are
taking the initiative to produce own proposals of radio
transmission technologies, wireless applications protocols, All-IP
wireless network architectures and advanced system prototypes for
3Gwireless and 4Gmobile. The objective of this conference is to
gather the research and development papers in this field and
present an overview of the-state-of-the-art of this 3Gwireless
storm - globally or locally, as well as perspectives on future
development in order to promote future research activities as well
as business strategies.

Original contributions are invited on recent research and
development of 3Gwireless (and 4Gmobile) systems and networks such
as UMTS, wmATM (wireless mobile ATM), Software Definable Radio,
Wireless Mobile Internet, Wireless Application Protocols, Wireless
Multimedia, Wireless Video, Wireless Access, All-IP Wireless
Architecture, etc. The topics of interest within the scope of this
conference include (but are not limited to) the following:
* 4Gmobile initiatives, e.g. higher datarate, best QoS, spectrum
  efficient, access control, All-IP wireless terminal, security,
  convergence, intelligence
* Convergence of 3Gwireless and Internet, e.g. Wireless Mobile
  Internet

* Co-existence with broadband wireless access
* 3G/4G mobility management
* Evolution of Macrocell to Microcell to Picocell
* Broadband Mobile Wireless (BMW), including 3G and 4G
* 3G/4G Bandwidth on Demand issues, e.g. scheduler
* Other 3G/4G Issues, e.g. access control, channel allocation,
  wireless packet, ...
* Convergence of broadband wireless mobile and access issues
* System survey, deployment, optimization and engineering
* Ad-Hoc wireless issues
* Reconfigurable terminal with 3G, Wireless-LAN, Bluetooth (3-in-1)
* 3Gwireless DSP, Processor, Converter, Bus Pool, etc.
* OFDM, Turbo Codes, W-CDMA, EDGE, GPRS, etc
* Wireless Video, Wireless Multimedia, etc
* Wireless TCP, Wireless IP, Wireless Security, etc.
* New 3Gwireless spectrums (e.g. 2.5GHz, 5GHz)
* Integrated Circuit to Super Circuit
* Any wireless issues, e.g. theory, analysis, simulation, model,
  test, spectrum
* Any 3Gwireless applications: mass-markets, military, airlines,
  specialized services, etc.
* 3Gwireless investment, evaluation, strategy, licensing, marketing,
  policy, etc
* All emerging wireless issues
