Call For Papers

WCNC 2027 (IEEE Wireless Communications & Networking Conference) is a CCF C / CORE B / QUALIS A2 conference held in Panama City, Panama on 2027-04-05. The paper submission deadline is 2026-09-15.

The IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC) is a top-ranked, flagship conference of the IEEE Communications Society, bringing together researchers from academia, industry, and government. IEEE WCNC 2027 will be hosted in the warm and wonderful city of Panama, Panama and will be conducted in person, allowing attendees to fully benefit from the conference atmosphere and experience. Prospective authors are invited to submit their works in the form of research papers describing significant and innovative contributions to the field of wireless communications and networking, in accordance with the four technical tracks listed below. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE WCNC 2027 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore. Proposals for half- or full-day tutorials and workshops are also invited in all communication and networking topics.
