CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of Computer Communications on
Cognitive Radio and Dynamic Spectrum Sharing Systems
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom
Scope:
Cognitive Radio (CR) and dynamic spectrum sharing systems use
innovative spectrum management techniques, which allow different
systems to share the same frequency band to utilize the radio spectrum
in an efficient way. CR technology enables the development of an
intelligent and adaptive wireless communication system that is
essentially aware of the radio frequency environment. Consequently,
the communication parameters (such as carrier frequency, bandwidth and
transmission power) can be dynamically chosen so that the spectrum
usage is optimized. The realization of this revolutionary technology,
however, poses many technical challenges including protocol design,
interference metric characterization, environment awareness, as well
as development of distributed algorithms, distributed measurement
techniques, and quality of service (QoS) guarantees. Recent research
efforts include considerations of different physical layer
technologies, spectrum sensing, coexistence mechanisms between legacy
and other users, shared medium access among many users, resource
management and distributed protocols for cognitive radio networks. The
aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-art
research results on cognitive radio networks and their applications.
We seek original completed and unpublished work not currently under
review by any other journal/magazine/conference. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
· Information theory for cognitive radio
· Multiple access schemes for cognitive radio
· Resource management in cognitive radio networks
· Spectrum sensing mechanisms and protocol support
· Spectrum sharing/trading in cognitive radio networks
· Efficient multi-band multi-resolution channel sensing algorithms
· Synchronization and channel estimation for cognitive radio
· Pricing for spectrum sharing in cognitive radio
· QoS provisioning in cognitive radio networks
· Cooperation and game theory for cognitive ratio networks
· Cross-layer design for cognitive radio
· Anti-jamming channel coding
· Interdisciplinary research for cognitive radio
· Security issues in cognitive radio networks
· Energy management
· Capacity and achievable data rates in cognitive radio networks
· Standards
· Experimental test-beds and results
Submission Format:
The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original
research which is not published nor currently under review by other
journals or conferences. Author guidelines for preparation of
manuscript can be found at /www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom.
