The WiMob conference is an international forum for the exchange of experience and knowledge among researchers and developers concerned with wireless and mobile technology. For twenty years, the International WiMob conference has provided unique opportunities for researchers to interact, share new results, show live demonstrations, and discuss emerging directions in next-generation networks, 5G/6G, IoT, and Artificial Intelligence based Communication and Networking.
WiMob 2026 will take place in Avignon, France, October 14 - 16, 2026.
WiMob 2026 is soliciting high-quality technical papers addressing research challenges in the areas of Wireless Communication, Next Generation Mobile Networking, Mobility and Nomadicity, Ubiquitous Computing, Services and Applications, Green and sustainable communications and network computing, Security on Wireless and mobile Networks and Artificial Intelligence based Communications and Networking. Papers should present original work validated via analysis, simulation or experimentation. Practical experiences and testbed trials also are welcome.
