CALL FOR PAPERS

[Scope]

Due to the rapid development of wireless communications in recent years, the 
demand on wireless spectrum has been growing dramatically, resulting in the 
spectrum scarcity problem. Works have shown that the fixed spectrum allocation 
policy commonly adopted today suffer from the low spectrum utilization problem. 
Both academic and regulatory bodies have focused on dynamic spectrum access to 
fully utilize the scarce spectrum resource. Cognitive radio, with the 
capability to flexibly adapt its parameters, has been proposed as the enabling 
technology for unlicensed secondary users to dynamically access the licensed 
spectrum owned by legacy primary users on a negotiated or an opportunistic 
basis. 
The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers in both academia 
and industry to present their new solutions to cognitive radios

[Topics]

Specific topics of the conference include but not limited to: 

 Information-theoretic aspects of cognitive radios 
 Spectrum sensing and prediction techniques for cognitive radios 
 Physical (PHY) layer design of cognitive radios 
 Medium access control (MAC) design for cognitive radio networks 
 Routing, spectrum mobility, and dynamic resource management 
 Cross-layer optimization for cognitive radio networks 
 Co-existence of heterogeneous networks and interference management
 Network radio architecture facilitating the interplay between layers and 
enabling more network functionalities
 Cooperative techniques and energy-efficiency design of cognitive radio 
networks 
 Security issues in cognitive radio networks 
 Artificial intelligence and machine learning for cognitive radios 
 Spectrum sharing and dynamic spectrum access 
 Spectrum pricing, economics models and game theory for dynamic spectrum 
access 
 Emerging applications of cognitive radio networks (femtocells, heterogeneous 
networks, vehicular networks, public safety, ...) 
 Interference analysis, measurements and statistical models of spectrum usage
 Simulation tools, testbeds, hardware and software prototypes 
 Implementation aspects (novel radio architectures, antennas, compressive 
sampling front-ends, etc.)
 Regulation and standardization
