Objective of Technical Committee on Radio Communication Systems (RCS)

Radio communication technologies are becoming more important in the provision of
broadband and ubiquitous infrastructures for emerging wireless networks such as
cellular (LTE, IMT-Advanced), wireless LAN, wireless mesh network, and
terrestrial broadcasting.

The main objective of this technical committee is to facilitate research on
radio communication systems designed for effectively utilizing the limited
frequency resource and exploiting cable/contact-free mobility. For that
purpose, conferences are held monthly as a place for exchanging information
and enlightening new ideas through technical presentations and discussions
between researchers, engineers, and users involved in extensive radio
communication technologies. The specific topics are listed below.
