Preface

Abstract

In the first year of the twenty first century, we are witnessing unprecedented growth in both quality and quantity of services offered by communication systems. While communications practitioners are endeavouring to translate existing recent advancements into product development, researchers continue scanning the horizon for new ideas and solutions in order to approach theoretical performance predictions. Most of those recent advancements in communication systems performance have been only possible because of signal processing applied in all areas of communication systems development and implementation. The special issue Signal Processing for Communication Systems consists of an invited paper and eight regular contributions. (...)
