channel - Advances in Electronics and Telecommunications

Note from the Editor-in-Chief
The journal you hold in your hands is the first issue of Advances in
Electronics and Telecommunications, a journal newly founded by the
Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications, Poznań University of Technology.
We hope that it will soon become a good and widely recognizable
place for publication of valuable papers devoted to several topics in the
area of contemporary electronics and telecommunications. The web page
accompanying the journal (http://www.advances.et.put.poznan.pl/) presents
a list of topics covering its spectrum of interest. Let us note that this list
is certainly not complete and it will be gradually expanded along with
development of new fields in electronics and telecommunications.
Founding a new journal is a serious challenge for the editors and
supporting institutions. We have dared to undertake it. Fortunately, during
our work on the first issue we have received a strong, essential support from
NEWCOM++ – the Network of Excellence in Wireless Communications
which groups the leading European universities in which research and
education in wireless technologies are performed. This has allowed us to
edit the first issue with the support of top European experts in wireless communications who supplied us with
good and interesting papers. This is also a proof of the on-going scientific cooperation within the European
Union. I would like to express my great thanks to all the authors who decided to submit their papers and I hope
that it is not their last publication in our journal.
The editors of a well recognized scientific journal are usually supported by the Advisory Board, whose members
give valuable hints to the editorial team and, to a certain degree, guarantee the quality of the papers and of the
journal as a whole. At this place, I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the members of our Advisory
Board for supporting our initiative and for trusting in our editorial project. We will do our best to achieve and
keep the high scientific level of the journal.
Advances in Electronics and Telecommunications will be issued in a two-fold way, in the traditional paper
form and in the electronic, open access form on the Internet. In the Internet era, scientific publications are much
widely distributed over the network. In consequence, it has a positive impact on the popularity of the journal,
citations of the papers published in it and, finally, it results in attracting better and better authors. We hope that
our policy will find acceptance among the readers. Subsequent issues will have their leading topics. We follow
excellent examples of this approach given by IEEE Journal on Special Areas in Communications and EURASIP
Journal on Advanced Signal Processing. Despite leading themes of each issue, authors are welcome to submit
papers in open call as well.
Last but not least, I would like to thank Prof. Hanna Bogucka, the editor of the first issue, whose enormous
energy in putting the journal to run has had an inspiring influence on the whole editorial team. Many thanks
to the journal web page administrator, Dr. Robert Kotrys who has professionally designed the Internet link of
our journal with the readers, authors and reviewers. Dr. Adrian Langowski is another person who, thanks to his
technical work, helped us to achieve a good technical standard of the journal.
I would like to wish our readers, authors, reviewers, respectable advisors and the whole editorial team a fruitful
cooperation and frequent studies of the papers published in our journal. Let us hope that in our world in which
every value has to be measured and compared with benchmarks it will quickly climb on the journal ranking
lists, will be indexed in the leading data bases and will achieve a high impact factor
