        Organizing Committee, we have great pleasure in inviting you to
        submit your work to the 2019 IEEE Conference on Standards for
        Communications & Networking (IEEE CSCN’19). The fifth
        edition of this highly successful conference will be held in
        Granada, Spain, the city of the world-famous Alhambra, one of
        the ten most visited monuments around the world.</span><br>
      <span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica

        role in the success of the communications industry, as enablers
        of global systems inter-operability and economies of scale. The
        finalization of the 3GPP release 15 in June 2018 was a major
        milestone. With the first 5G specifications now complete, the
        industry has achieved critical progress on technology readiness,
        and operators around the world are starting the commercial
        rollout. This represents the culmination of years of concerted
        industry and academia efforts in scoping out and designing the
        next generation of mobile systems. Past editions of IEEE CSCN
        have played their own part in these efforts.<span

        will be divided into 4 tracks designed to cover the diverse
        space of technologies – not limited to cellular systems–. New,
        original and previously unpublished papers are invited that
        address the emerging connectivity solutions and the
        standardization approaches and strategies that these may take,
        as well as the relevant business models and use-cases.</span><br>

        are papers that assess the wireless landscape in light of the
        recently completed release of NR standard. Not only the
        Non-Standalone version, but also the Standalone version which
        delivers the potential for 5G deployments independent of LTE.</span>
