Call for Papers: "Technologies for Effective Utilization of Spectrum White
Space"



The IEICE Transactions on Communications announces that it will publish

a special section entitled "Special Section on Technologies for Effective
Utilization

of Spectrum White Space" in February 2014.

Spectrum scarcity is one of the significant problems for emerging wireless
services,

and it requires urgent solution. Among the approaches proposed to tackle
this problem,

cognitive radio techniques have been paid much attention for enabling the
utilization

of the television (TV) white space. In this approach, for the effective
utilization of

TV white space and protection of TV receivers, high accuracy/reliable
environment

recognition techniques, and dynamic spectrum management/allocation technique
have been

investigated. In addition, for enabling TV white space utilization by
cognitive radio

network, development of laws, and discussions among TV operators, regulatory
agencies

and emerging wireless service providers are required. For utilizing the
white spaces

also in other bands than the TV bands, fundamental investigations from
information

theoretic aspects, investigations of applications of white space and
implementation/experiment

techniques are also required. Because of these reasons, a special section is
being

planned (scheduled to appear in the February 2014 issue) to further promote
research

and development of technologies for effective utilization of spectrum white
space which

is not limited to TV white space.



1. Scope



The general scope of this section includes, but is not limited to, the
following:



Experimental prototypes/Measurement results/Modeling for effective
utilization of spectrum white space

Architecture and Implementations/Hardware issues/Software defined radio

Spectrum sensing/measurement for effective utilization of spectrum white
space

White space database/Radio environment map

Resource management/sharing/allocation for effective utilization of
spectrum white space

PHY/MAC layer techniques for effective utilization of spectrum white space

Network issues for effective utilization of spectrum white space

Security issues for effective utilization of spectrum white space

Information theory for effective utilization of spectrum white space

Applications of white space (sensor network, intelligent transportation
system, cellular system)

Regulations and standardizations (IEEE 802.22, 802.11af, 802.19, P1900.4a)



2. Submission Instructions



The standard number of pages is 8. The page charges are considerably higher
for extra pages.

Manuscripts should be prepared according to the guideline in the
"Information for Authors".

The latest version is available at the web site,
Hhttp://www.ieice.org/eng/shiori/mokuji_cs.html.

The term for revising the manuscript after acknowledgement of conditional
acceptance for this

special section could be shorter than that for regular issues (60 days)
because of the tight review

schedule.



This special section will accept papers only by electronic submission.
Prospective authors are

requested to follow carefully the submission process described below.



1. Submit a manuscript and electronic source files (TeX/Word files, figures,
authors photos and biographies)

via the IEICE Web site https://review.ieice.org/regist_e.aspx by June 5,
2013 (Japan time).

(The above web site will be available on middle of April 2013.)

Authors should choose the [Special-EB] Technologies for Effective
Utilization of Spectrum White Space as a

"Type of Section (Issue)/Transactions" on the online screen. Do not choose
[Regular-EB].



2. Send Copyright Transfer and Page Charge Agreement and Confirmation
Sheet of Manuscript Registration

by E-mail, FAX or postal mail to the following address (guest editor of the
special section) by the above due

date. We may withdraw the submission if these documents have not been
received by the due date, even if the

manuscript has been received by electronic submission. For additional
