The 2025 Workshop on Crystal-Free/-Less Radio and System-based Research for IoT (CrystalFreeIoT 2025)

The CrystalFreeIoT 2025 workshop will bring together researchers and technical experts to share experiences and state-of-the-art research work under crystal-free/-less radio or system integration and thinking in multiple IoT related topics. It will be co-located with EWSN 2025 in Leuven, Belgium and held on 22 September 2025.

This is the third in a series after the first Invited Workshop at Inria Paris in September 2023 and the second workshop co-located with CPS-IoT Week in Hong Kong in May 2024!

We solicit paper submissions with systematic design on topics including, but not limited to:

  • System-level Design for IoT (including low-power wireless networking, VLSI, standards-compliant or -compatible protocols, new radio designs, data fusion for multiple-sensor systems)
  • Crystal-Free Radio Design and Calibration Techniques
  • Wireless Indoor Localization
  • Cross IoT-Protocols support
  • Swarm Robotics and Behaviors Analysis
  • Miniaturization of IoT devices
  • Synchronization in Wireless System
  • Cryptography for IoT devices (PUF, digital fingerprint, etc.)
  • Integrated Backscatter Devices

We also welcome poster submissions in a short-paper format to showcase in-progress research, new problem discussions, or recent results.

A PDF version of this call for proposals is also available.
