SPAWC 2007, the 8th IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances for Wireless Communications is devoted to recent advances in signal processing for wireless and mobile communications. This workshop brings together members of the signal processing, communications and information theory communities, working in universities, research centers and telecommunications companies. The meeting will feature keynote addresses by leading researchers, as well as invited and contributed papers.

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in the following areas:

• Smart antennas, MIMO systems, and space-time coding
• Fundamental limits on capacity and performance analysis
• Single-carrier, multi-carrier, and multi-rate systems
• Multiple access and broadcast channels, multi-user receivers
• Mobile location
• Cross-layer issues: from physical to networking layers
• Signal processing tools for ad hoc, multi-hop, and sensor networks
• Cooperative transmission and reception schemes
• Cognitive radio
• RFID
• Time, frequency, spatial, multi-user diversity in fading channels
• Ultra-wideband radio
• Modeling, estimation and equalization of time-varying channels
• Signal separation, and interference rejection
• Acquisition, synchronization, and tracking (data aided or blind)
• Spread-spectrum systems
• Source-channel coding
• Iterative (turbo) decoding, Monte Carlo signal processing
• Topics in wired-line: signal processing for power-line communications, digital subscriber loops and cable modems
