Approval of ICC’18 RCC Meeting Minutesavailable at





The IEEE Communications Society’s Radio Communications Committee (RCC) is primarily interested in physicallayer wireless communications. Its areas of interest include engineering aspects of communication andlocalization systems, equipment, and operation with involvement in standardization, spectrum, andregulatory efforts. Technologies considered span point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-multipoint,mobile radio access, and adaptive diversity systems. The RCC sponsors and promotes technical publications,conferences, symposia, workshops, tutorials, and other related activities on the aforementioned aspects. Thecommittee also assumes the proactive duty to nominate suitable candidates for Communications Society andIEEE awards, propose distinguished lecturer candidates, and endorse deserving candidates for the election toIEEE Senior Member and Fellow grade.
