Designed for short-range, wireless personal area networks (WPANs), UWB is the leading technology for freeing people of these wires, enabling wireless connection amongst multiple devices for transmission of video, audio, and other high-bandwidth data. In spite of all the benefits that UWB provides, there are many fundamental and practical issues that need to be studied carefully to ensure the success of this technology in the wireless communication market. Multi-access code design, multiple access interference (MAI) cancellation, narrowband interference (NBI) detection and cancellation, synchronization of the receiver to extremely narrow pulses, accurate modeling of UWB channels, estimation of multipath channel delays and coefficients and adaptive transceiver design are some of the issues that still require a lot of research. In addition to these physical layer issues, the fundamental role of UWB technology in wireless networks is still open and a wide range of research questions continue to present challenges. Especially, the role of the UWB in wireless ad-hoc and sensors networks requires significant amount of research. This symposium is aimed to assemble original research papers that address these questions, and enhance the state-of-the-art UWB systems. Papers on practical as well as on theoretical topics and problems are invited. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to): - UWB modulation/coding - UWB pulse generation and antenna issues - Propagation characteristics of UWB channels - UWB receiver designs and signal processing - UWB circuits and systems - Synchronization and channel estimation - Interference issues - UWB wireless networks and related issues - New Protocols for UWB - Scheduling for UWB devices - Spectral and power management issues - Mobility issues in UWB - Range estimation and location management using UWB - Multicarrier techniques in UWB system design Important Dates: Paper Registration: July 15, 2005 Final Paper Upload: July 15, 2005 Acceptance Notification: August 15, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: August 31, 2005 Submission Instructions: Prospective authors are invited to submit a full paper of no more than six (6) pages including figures and references in standard IEEE double-column format.

Call for Papers:

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology brings the convenience and mobility of
wireless communications to high-speed interconnects amongst devices
within digital home and office environments. Today, most computer and
consumer electronic devices ranging from a digital camcorder and DVD
player to a mobile PC and a high-definition TV (HDTV) require wires to
record, play, or exchange data. Designed for short-range, wireless
personal area networks (WPANs), UWB is the leading technology for
freeing people of these wires, enabling wireless connection amongst
multiple devices for transmission of video, audio, and other
high-bandwidth data.

In spite of all the benefits that UWB provides, there are many
fundamental and practical issues that need to be studied carefully to
ensure the success of this technology in the wireless communication
market. Multi-access code design, multiple access interference (MAI)
cancellation, narrowband interference (NBI) detection and cancellation,
synchronization of the receiver to extremely narrow pulses, accurate
modeling of UWB channels, estimation of multipath channel delays and
coefficients and adaptive transceiver design are some of the issues that
still require a lot of research. In addition to these physical layer
issues, the fundamental role of UWB technology in wireless networks is
still open and a wide range of research questions continue to present
challenges. Especially, the role of the UWB in wireless ad-hoc and
sensors networks requires significant amount of research. This symposium
is aimed to assemble original research papers that address these
questions, and enhance the state-of-the-art UWB systems. Papers on
practical as well as on theoretical topics and problems are invited.
Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):
- UWB modulation/coding
- UWB pulse generation and antenna issues
- Propagation characteristics of UWB channels
- UWB receiver designs and signal processing
- UWB circuits and systems
- Synchronization and channel estimation
- Interference issues
- UWB wireless networks and related issues
- New Protocols for UWB
- Scheduling for UWB devices
- Spectral and power management issues
- Mobility issues in UWB
- Range estimation and location management using UWB
- Multicarrier techniques in UWB system design

Submission Instructions:
Prospective authors are invited to submit a full paper of no more than
six (6) pages including figures and references in standard IEEE
double-column format. Papers should be submitted in PDF format through
