Call for Papers

IEEE Globecom 2012 Cognitive Radio and Networks Symposium
(For more information, please email: gc12-crn at iastate.edu)

Scope and Motivation:
---------------------
The emerging cognitive radio communications and networking technologies 
promise to mitigate the spectrum under-utilization problem in wireless 
access, improve the interoperability and coexistence among different 
wireless/mobile communications systems, and make the future generation 
radio devices/systems autonomous and self-reconfigurable. The goal of 
this symposium is to bring together and disseminate the state of the art 
research contributions that address the various aspects of analysis, 
design, optimization, implementation, standardization, and application 
of cognitive radio communications and networking technologies. The scope 
of this symposium includes (but not limited to) the topics mentioned above.

Topics of Interest
------------------
The Cognitive Radio and Networks Symposium seeks original contributions 
in, but not limited to, the following topical areas:

? Challenges and issues in designing cognitive radios and networks
? Architectures and building blocks of cognitive radio networks
? Spectrum sensing, measurements and statistical modeling of spectrum usage
? Waveform design, modulation, interference aggregation, mitigation for 
cognitive radio
? Distributed cooperative spectrum sensing and multiuser access
? Cognitive medium access control, interference management, handoff and 
routing protocols
? Resource allocation for multi-antenna based cognitive radio 
communications
? Distributed adaptation and optimization methods
? Energy-efficient cognitive radio communications and networking
? Machine learning techniques for cognitive radio systems
? Self-configuration, interoperability and co-existence issues
? Dynamic spectrum sharing
? Security and robustness of cognitive spectrum-agile networks
? Cross-layer optimization of cognitive radio systems
? Applications and services based on cognitive radio networks (e.g., 
cognitive networking in TV whitespace, cognitive femtocell networks, 
public safety networks, and vehicular networks)
? Economic aspects of spectrum sharing (e.g., pricing, auction) in 
cognitive radio networks
? Regulatory policies and their interactions with communications and 
networking
? Cognitive radio standards, test-beds, simulation tools, and hardware 
prototypes
? Modeling and performance evaluation
? Quality of service provisioning in cognitive radio networks
