Call for Papers
ICT2014
21st International Conference on Telecommunications
TELECOMMUNICATIONS: COOPERATION
FOR A UNITED WORLD
The demand for telecommunication services and increased capacity will
continue to be the driving force that challenges the development of increasingly more efficient, secure, green and robust communication technologies.
Presently achievable link capacities approach the known Shannon limit
but new cooperation techniques are being developed to improve spectral
efficiency, thus allowing a more connected and reliable world. This 21st edition of the ICT 2014 International Conference on Telecommunications will
reflect on such trends, presenting novel scientific and technical solutions
for future telecommunication systems.
ICT 2014 will feature world-class plenary speakers, tutorials and technical
sessions from academia, researching laboratories, government, industry
(operators and suppliers) and security public services to discuss and exchange
ideas in the fields of wireless and cable telecommunication networks, services
and applications. The conference will also include an expo program and
exhibition.
