The IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC) is a major conference of the IEEE Communications Society. It has been held continuously since 1999. It covers a broad range of topics in wireless communications and networking including advanced cellular systems, device-to-device communication, multi-antenna communication schemes, channel modeling, interference management, and wireless energy transfer. The conference brings together industry, academia, and government and regulatory bodies. The technical program for WCNC 2017 will feature numerous technical sessions including physical layer fundamentals, medium access control, cross-layer design, wireless networks, emerging technologies, architectures, and services, as well as tutorials, workshops, and technology/business panels.WCNC 2017 will be hosted by the city of San Francisco and Silicon Valley from March 19th to 22nd. Historically, the conference has had approximately 10% student participation. A goal of the organizing committee this year is to increase student participation to 15%. To do this, the organizing committee created two Student Outreach Chairs positions and has planned four specific student outreach activities. This grant provides travel assistance to approximately 50 deserving US-based students to allow for increased student participation and engagement at WCNC 2017. The Student Outreach chairs will support applications from a diverse mix of students and will make efforts to draw applications from female students and students from underrepresented minorities. After the 2017 WCNC event is complete, the Student Outreach Chairs will email student attendees a short online survey to assess the effectiveness of the outreach events as well as the travel grant application and award process.

IEEE无线通信与网络会议（WCNC）是IEEE通信协会的主要会议。它自1999年以来一直在不断举行。它涵盖了无线通信和网络的广泛主题，包括先进的蜂窝系统，设备到设备通信，多安德滕纳通信方案，渠道建模，干预管理和无线能源传输。该会议汇集了行业，学术界以及政府和监管机构。 WCNC 2017的技术课程将举办众多技术会议，包括物理层基础，中等访问控制，无线网络，无线网络，新兴技术，建筑和服务以及教程，研讨会和技术/商业面板。WCNC2017将由Sanfrancisco City of Sanfrancisco和Silicon Valley市举办，从3月22日托管。从历史上看，该会议大约有10％的学生参与。今年组织委员会的目标是将学生的参与提高到15％。为此，组织委员会创建了两个学生外展椅职位，并计划了四项特定的学生外展活动。该赠款为大约50名应得的美国学生提供了旅行援助，以允许在WCNC 2017上增加学生的参与和参与。学生外展椅将支持来自各种学生的申请，并将努力从代表性不足的少数群体中吸引女学生和学生的申请。在2017年WCNC活动完成后，学生外展椅将向学生与会者发送简短的在线调查，以评估外展活动的有效性以及旅行赠款申请和奖励过程。
