Call
for Submissions ( pdf ) ( doc )
Motivated
by the skyrocketing demand for radio spectrum, facilitated by regulatory
policy movements, and enabled by
advances
in RF technologies, there has been
significant research
towards developing networking technologies for white spaces
-- the allocated but unutilized and under-utilized radio spectrum. One
noticeable example is the recent prototype development and FCC historical
rulings on white spaces in the TV bands. This workshop aims at providing a
timely venue for discussing the current activities and findings in the field of
cognitive radio networks, dynamic spectrum access, interference prevention,
coexistence, and regulatory issues. This workshop will focus on recent advances
as well as challenging papers. Areas of interest include but are not
limited to:
·
Spectrum
Sensing and Spectrum Management
·
Cognitive
Radio Test-Beds and Hardware Prototypes
·
DSA/Cognitive
Radio Standardization Activities (e.g. IEEE P1900, IEEE 802.22)
·
Accreditation,
Trust, & Security Mechanisms for DSA Networks
·
Cross-Layer
Protocol Design
·
Cooperation
and Game-Theoretical Protocols for Cognitive Radios
·
Practical
Experience and Systems Implementations
The workshop aims to serve as a discussion
forum for the research community to discuss the key technical challenges in
the design and implementation
of
dynamic spectrum access and cognitive
radio technologies. Therefore, the workshop will feature a set of invited talks from leading researchers.
Paper Submission Instructions: All
paper submissions will be handled electronically via the EDAS system.
The paper must be formatted according
to IEEE
conference proceedings style in two-column format, with a
maximum of six pages (including figures, tables, and references) using fonts of 10-point
size or greater.
Poster/Demo
Submission Instructions: Submission of a demo or a poster requires a written
3-page summary describing the demo or the research results that
are to be presented.
Submission should go through EDAS. The authors of the accepted posters/demos
will have the option of whether to include a 3-page
summary in the workshop proceeding,
which will be archived by IEEE Xplore.
