In the past few years, fundamental research has demonstrated great
potentials of cognitive radio (CR) in increasing the spectrum agility and
system capacity of wireless communications systems. With the ability to
detect and adapt to the surrounding environment, CR has become one of the
widely recognized features for the future wireless communication systems.
Specifically, CR has been recommended as a key technology to solve the
spectrum scarcity problem in the next generation cellar networks. For
example, IEEE 802.16h standard was recently published for the license-exempt
operation of WiMAX networks by defining a set of CR capabilities. On the
other hand, a lot of efforts are being taken to introducing CR features into
3GPP LTE-Advanced.

 

Evidently, integrating CR technologies into future generation cellular
networks is becoming more and more important and will attract significant
attentions from both academia and industry. Nevertheless, despite the large
amount of research work conducted in recent years, there are still many open
problems in developing and deploying large-scale CR based cellular networks.

 

To help addressing such open issues, this feature topic will focus on the
state-of-the-art research and development in various aspects of cognitive
radio for next generation cellular networks. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to, the following:

 

* Usage of TV white space in cellular networks

* Cooperative spectrum sensing in cellular network

* Coordinated and uncoordinated spectrum sharing in 3G/4G environment

* Mobility management and hand-over in  cognitive cellular networks

* Economic aspects and Pricing model for cognitive cellular networks

* Management and optimization of cognitive radio resources

* Spectrum trading, auction, and bidding in cellular network

* Synchronization and channel estimation for cognitive radio

* QoS provisioning and cross-layer design in cognitive cellular networks

* Security enhancement for cognitive cellular networks

* Theoretical capacity and practical data rates in cognitive cellular
networks

* The integration of cognitive radio and femtocell

* Cognitive radio related 3G/4G Standards

* Experimental test-beds and results

* Cognitive Policy Management and Standardization

* Cognitive Radio User Services and Emerging Applications

* Cognitive Hybrid Network Architectures
