  EURASIP JWCN Special Issue on
  Advanced Signal Processing Algorithms
  for Wireless Communications

Call for Papers

Traditional wireless technologies are confronted with new
challenges in meeting the ubiquity and mobility requirements
of cellular systems. Hostile channel characteristics and
limited bandwidths in wireless applications provide key
barriers that future generation systems must cope with.
Advanced signal processing methods, such as the
expectation-maximization algorithm and related techniques
including SAGE, MCEM, HMM, Baum-Welch, and sequential Monte
Carlo methods, in collaboration with inexpensive and rapid
computing power provide a promising avenue for overcoming
the limitations of current technologies. Although such
methods have been successfully applied in a variety of
communication contexts, many technical challenges remain in
emerging applications, whose solutions will provide the
bridge between the theoretical potential of such techniques
and their practical utility.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
applications of advanced signal processing algorithms in
wireless communication subsystems such as synchronization,
equalization, and sequence estimation, based on such
techniques as:

 o The expectation-maximization algorithm
 o The SAGE algorithm
 o The Baum-Welch algorithm
 o Per-Survivor processing
 o Kalman filters and their extensions
 o Hidden Markov modeling
 o Sequential Monte Carlo filters
 o Stochastic approximation algorithms
 o Monte Carlo expectation Maximization.
