Monash University is pleased to host the 16th Australian Communications Theory Workshop. The workshop will bring together researchers and post-graduate students in physical layer communications and information theory for two and a half days of technical presentations, tutorials and networking. Past workshops have provided formal and informal environments to successfully foster collaborative research.

Call for Papers

Papers presenting original and unpublished contributions are solicited (maximum length is 6 pages). All contributed papers will be subject to peer review. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• coded modulation
• coding theory and practice
• communication systems
• channel modelling
• detection and estimation
• ultra-wide band communications
• OFDM & DMT processing techniques
• blind signal separation techniques
• information theory and statistics
