Special issue on:
Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management

Scope:
Conventional fixed spectrum allocation cannot successfully cope with the
scarcity of radio frequency spectrum. Cognitive radio is a novel
technology, which improves the spectrum utilization by seeking and
opportunistically utilizing radio resources in time, frequency and space
domains on a real time basis. The cognitive radio technology poses many
new technical challenges, and overcoming these issues becomes even more
challenging due to non-uniform spectrum and other radio resource
allocation policies, economic considerations, the inherent transmission
impairments of wireless links and user mobility. Cognitive radio
technology advances are based on interdisciplinary research, including
among others: signal processing, information theory, communications
engineering, artificial intelligence, game theory and economics. This
special issue aims at publishing high quality research papers related to
cognitive radio and its applications. Researchers working in these areas
worldwide are invited to contribute. Topics of interest include, but are
NOT limited to:

• Dynamic spectrum sharing techniques and policies
• Interoperability, interference and co-existence of dissimilar wireless
networks
• Spectrum measurements and sensing
• PHY layer design for cognitive radio
• Cognitive protocols and algorithms from PHY to application layers
• Cross-layer cognitive algorithms
• Applied mathematics for cognitive radio
• Application of machine learning and policy processing to cognitive radio
• Security issues
• Business and regulatory aspects of spectrum usage reform
• Software-defined radio
• Implementation, standardization, and certification of cognitive radio
• Cognitive radio prototypes

Submission Guidelines:

published or that are not currently under review by other journals or
peer-reviewed conferences are sought. All papers should be submitted
through the Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing journal's
