›9th International Symposium on Turbo Codes & Iterative Information Processing

The 9th International Symposium on Turbo Codes & Iterative Information Processing will be held from Monday September 5th to Friday September 9th, 2016 in Brest, France. The Symposium will be the opportunity to acquire a broad overview of the current status and advanced research in coding theory, as well as iterative and non­iterative information processing.

Special Focus on 5G

For this edition of the Symposium, in addition to classical coding­ related themes, a special emphasis will be placed on latest advances towards the definition of the 5G physical layer. Information processing, storing, and distribution issues, beyond just coding aspects, will be addressed in the form of special workshops, sessions, and 5G project demo sessions. Keynote and invited talks will be given by leaders in this area.

Interested authors are invited to submit original contributions of both theoretical and applied nature in the following areas (non­exhaustive list):

Coding topics:

Turbo codes, LDPC codes, polar codes, spatially-coupled codes, non-binary codes
Coding and modulation
Coding for (distributed) storage applications
Coding for secrecy
Coding for optical communications
Coding for noisy hardware
Coding for network communications
Joint source-channel coding
Iterative detection and estimation
Digital and analog implementation
Emerging applications of coding and message-passing decoding
Coding, communications and life sciences
Additional 5G physical layer topics :

Modulations and coding (including MTC traffic)
Low-latency and ultra-reliable communications
Device-to-Device communications and coordination
Massive MIMO transmitter/receiver designs
Coordinated Multipoint systems
The Symposium will include regular papers for oral and poster sessions as well as invited papers. Accepted and presented papers/posters will appear in the Symposium proceedings as well as IEEE Xplore.

The technical program of the symposium will also include Special Sessions. Their objective is to complement the regular program with emerging topics of particular interest to the community.
