Wireless Communication

Wireless Communication as the name indicates is the communication technology without wires, using wireless signals and waves. The field is very vast and has touched every sphere of life around us. In today’s we can’t imagine even a single step without Wireless Communication. For example, founded in 1988, the Wireless Communications Association International (WCA) is the non-profit trade and professional association for the Wireless Broadband industry with member companies on six continents representing the bulk of the sector's leading carriers, vendors and consultants.

The WCA's mission is to advance the interests of the wireless carriers that provide high-speed data, Internet, voice and video services on broadband spectrum through land-based systems using reception/transmit devices in all broadband spectrum bands. The WCA is an established leader in government relations, technology standards and industry event organization.

Now let’s see another organization in Wireless Communication called IEEE Wireless Communications. It is designed for individuals working in the communications and networking communities. It covers technical and policy issues relating to personalized, location-independent communications in all media (and combinations of media), and at all protocol layers. Both wired and wireless communications will be covered as well as computing, the mobility of people, communicating devices, and personal services. Each issue of this interdisciplinary magazine provides articles of high quality and depth concerning the revolutionary technological advances in personal, location-independent communications and computing.

IEEE Wireless Communications also available online at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/index.html

Six times a year, articles in IEEE Wireless Communications examine different aspects of key PCS concerns, such as:

• Personal portable telephones, multimedia devices, digital assistants, and communicating palmtop computers.
• Registration and handoff protocols, messaging, and communications and computing requirements.
• Network control and management for protocols associated with routing and tracking of mobile users.
• Location-independent numbering plans for movable personal services.
• Personal profiles, personalized traffic filtering and other database-driven aspects of personal communications.
• Link access technologies and protocols.
• Radio and infrared channel characterization and other micro cell-based personal communication systems.
• Satellite Systems and Global Personal Communications.
• Traffic management and performance issues.
• Policy issues in spectrum allocation, industry structure, and technology evolution.
• Applications, case studies, and field experience.
• Intelligent vehicle highway systems.
• Guides to the literature.

Regular features include:

• New product announcements
• A scan of the literature, industry news
• Upcoming Conferences
