Following the success of the Signal Processing for Wireless Communications (SPWC) conferences, the Centre for Digital Signal Processing Research (CDSPR) at King′s College London will be hosting the fourth workshop on Signal Processing for Wireless Communication (SPWC) to be held in 30 – 31 May 2006. Applications of digital signal processing in various aspects of telecommunication are vast. In particular, wireless applications require very powerful digital signal processors. The need for small sizes and low power consumption of fast processors, specifically within portable devices has spurred tremendous advances in DSP technology. The remarkable upgrade in processing power requirements for third generation (3G) terminals compared to that in their second–generation (2G) counterparts is an example of the pace of this growth. This rising demand for processing capability at small sizes and low power consumption ranges continues by virtue of the need for multi–mode terminals and reconfigurable handsets in the present and in the future respectively. The signal processing issues and advances are not confined to those within mobile terminals, for the processing requirements within the network side is also growing tremendously. The channel/traffic estimation (for multimedia applications), efficient power control, adaptive modulation/encoding and dynamic multi–layer resource management are among the procedures that demand for remarkable growth in processing capability of the processors within the network (i.e. in the base stations and in the core network). Widely expected heterogeneous fourth generation wireless systems will make the need for new advanced DSP techniques in the above mentioned areas and in many other aspects of the receiver/transmitter vital. <b>Keywords:</b> Source–channel coding, space–time coding<br>Interative techniques in signal processing<br>Wireless channel modelling and channel parameter estimation<br>Signal processing issues in UWB<br>Signal processing issues in WLAN and cellular networks<br>Information theoretic bounds in wireless cmmunications<br>Synchronisation<br>Cross–layer design in wireless communications; Physical–MAC–Network layers<br>Adaptive modulation and coding–radio resource allocation<br>Location determination<br>Distributed signal processing<br>Signal processing and capacity enhancement<br>Wireless transceiver design and optimisation<br>Interference suppresion and source separation<br>Multi–carrier systems<br>
