Technical Committee

Scope

Though the IEEE Signal Processing (SPS) and Communications (COMSOC) Societies have evolved somewhat independently, the technical areas covered by the two societies are tightly and undeniably intertwined. In fact, in most problems, it is impossible to tell where the signal processing ends and the communications technology begins, and vice versa. Driven in part by recent advances in cross-layer network design, there is nowadays considerable cross-fertilization between SPS and the communication networks community at the intersection of COMSOC and the Information Theory (IT) Society. The Signal Processing for Communications and Networking Technical Committee (TC) of SPS is dedicated to exploring and illuminating the connections between these rapidly growing fields within the larger IEEE organization. Our technical interests include:

• coding, data compression, and information theory
• network-distributed signal processing, including distributed sensing, estimation, detection, coding, and compression
• channel modeling, estimation, and equalization
• multiuser, multicarrier, and multiple-access communications
• antenna arrays for wireless communications
• synchronization and timing recovery
• performance analysis, experimental studies and measurements
• signal processing and cross-layer aspects of ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access systems
• cross-layer resource optimization, including scheduling and queuing protocols

Call for Nominations

The SPCOM Technical Committee is seeking nominations for its annual membership election. The TC is seeking technically strong, committed candidates with a broad perspective on fields of signal processing, communication systems, and networks. We have prepared a simple nomination form to standardize the nomination process.
