The wireless local area networks (WLANs) are an example of great success. All over the world hundreds of millions WLAN devices are shipped every year. A great number of researches still develop new transmission and receiving methods to improve the WLAN performance. These methods (MIMO technique, Space Time Coding, transmit beamforming, LDPC encoding, MAC throughput enhancements, etc.) allow to achieve greater range and higher data rate of the wireless communications. The main goal of this special session is to discuss original technical problems ranged over the following topics connected with the next generation wireless LANs: Channel Coding, Space Time Coding, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output techniques, OFDM Systems, Multiuser Detection, Receiver Algorithms, Interference Rejection, MAC Efficiency Enhancements, Security Methods.
