| Summary: | During 12-15 of September 1999, 10th International Symposium on P- sonal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRCỚ"99) was held in Osaka Japan, and it was really a successful symposium that accommodated more than 600 participants from more than 30 countries and regions. PIMRC is really well organized annual symposium for wireless multimedia commu- cation systems, in which, various up-to-date topics are discussed in the invited talk, panel discussions and tutorial sessions. One of the unique features of the PIMRC is that PIMRC is continuing to publish, from Kluwer Academic Publishers since 1997, a book that collects the hottest topics discussed in PIMRC. In PIMRCỚ"97, Invited talks were sum- rized in ỚSWireless Communications Ớ<U+001c>TDMA versus CDMA Ớ<U+001c> (ISBN 0-7923- 8005-3),Ớ<U+00fd> and it was published just beforePIMRCỚ"97. This book was also distributed to all the PIMRCỚ"97 participants as a part of proceedings for the conference. In PIMRCỚ"98, extendedversion of the invited papers were s- marized in Wireless Multimedia Network Technologies (ISBN 0-7923-8633- 7) and published in September 1999, which is almost the same timing for the PIMRCỚ"99. In the case of PIMRCỚ"99, to produce more informative book, we have - lected topics that attracted many PIMRCỚ"99 participants during the conf- ence, and invited prospective authors not only from the invited speakers but also from tutorial speakers, panel organizers, panelists, and some other exc- lent PIMRCỚ"99 participants.
