The third International Conference on Wireless Communication in Underground and Confined Areas will be held in Val-d’Or, Canada, August 23-25 2010. ICWCUCA is a forum for academic researchers, professionals and industrial specialists that are interested in or have realized original research, innovative applications, or field trials related to telecommunications in a confined area (basement, vehicle) or an underground environment (e.g. underground city, tunnels, subway, mine, shelter).
This third Conference should focus on Antennas & Propagation Channel Modeling, Smart Antennas, Prediction Tools and admissible topics include but are not limited to the following:
 Access & Transmission: Channel Allocation, Medium Access Control, Modulation, Coding, MIMO Systems
 Networks: Ad-Hoc Networks, Wireless Local Area Networks, Mesh Networks, Sensor Networks
 Network Planning and Deployment:: Architecture, Protocols, Handover, Roaming, QoS
 Performance Measurements
 Location Systems : Algorithms, Simulation, Implementations
 Automation : Autonomous Vehicles, Telemetry, Remote Control
 Inter/Intra-Vehicle Wireless Communication: Location Techniques, Obstacle Detection, Target tracking, Collision Avoidance
 Wireless Intra-Body Networking
 Role of Wireless Telecommunications in the Industries and Confined Areas of the Future
