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
