18th IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)

Las Vegas, January 9-12, 2021

(Held in conjunction with the International Consumer Electronics Show - CES)

https://ccnc2021.ieee-ccnc.org

=======================================================================

IEEE CCNC 2021 will run as a virtual conference on 9-12 January 2021.

===========================

IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference, sponsored by IEEE
Communications Society, is a major annual international conference
organized with the objective of bringing together researchers, developers,
and practitioners from academia and industry working in all areas of
consumer communications and networking.

IEEE CCNC was organized specifically to help the consumer electronics
industry drive the advancement of the numerous wireless and wireline
communications technologies that will one day provide on-demand access to
both entertainment and information anytime, anywhere, regardless of time or
location. This includes a detailed analysis of nearly every technological
area ranging from cognitive and peer-to-peer networking to the designer
services and tools used to ensure ease-of-use, security and stunning
interactivity.

IEEE CCNC 2021 is proud to announce two distinguished keynote speakers:
Prof. Edward Knightly, Sheafor-Lindsay Professor of Electrical and Computer
Engineering and Computer Science at Rice University, and Dr. Jim Lansford,
Director, Technical Standards at Qualcomm. The conference will present the
latest developments and technical solutions in the areas of large scale
experimentation, home/consumer networking, efficient wireless spectrum use,
enabling technologies, and novel applications and services.The conference
will include a peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, special
sessions, industry track sessions, tutorials, and demonstration sessions.

welcomed in all areas of consumer communications and networking.

Examples comprise (alternative and additional topics are highly welcome!):

• Wireless Systems (WiFi 6, 5G and beyond)

• Deep Learning / Artificial Intelligence in Communications & Networking

• Energy-aware Consumer Networks / Green Radio

• Consumer Networks as Enabler for IoT

• Cyber-Physical Systems based on Consumer Networking
