Greetings from General Co-Chairs

On behalf of the Steering Committee, it is our great honor and pleasure to welcome you to the 2021 International Conference on Emerging Technologies for Communications (ICETC2021) to be held as online conference from December 1 (Wednesday) through December 3 (Friday), 2021.
This conference is organized by the Communications Society of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE).
ICETC2021 is the second international conference on all the technical fields covered by the IEICE Communications Society. Our objectives are synergistic effects beyond the specialized fields, expansion of research areas, and development of young researchers. This international conference is a place for discussions, and therefore preliminary results at the initial research stage are eagerly welcomed. Also, we will appreciate the younger researchers and students joining this conference.
Although we are still under the COVID-19 pandemic and planning the online conference, we will provide you with research fun in ICETC2021 utilizing the experience of ICETC2020.
