CALL FOR PAPERS:
IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine
Dynamic Spectrum Management in Wireless Networks

Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) is expected to be a key technology in
addressing the spectrum scarcity problem. To be effective DSM requires
new techniques and technologies to provide the necessary intelligence
and adaptation for mutually beneficial cooperation and coexistence of
multiple wireless networks. Some of these techniques are known under
the Cognitive Radio, where environment-aware unlicensed wireless devices
can share the spectrum with other licensed networks without degrading
their performance. Possessing this cognition capability, these devices
have an open eye on their operation to avoid unmanageable interference
on the nodes of other networks.
This coexistence can happen either when the primary network, as the
owner of spectrum, makes decision to charter the spectrum to the so
called secondary network based on a mutual agreement. Or, when the
secondary network accesses the spectrum opportunistically. This goal,
inconceivable in the past, is shown to be feasible due to recent
advances in multiplicity of research disciplines involved, ranging from
adaptive signal processing and spectral estimation techniques to power
control and cooperative communications.

While some initial steps toward the implementation of Dynamic Spectrum
Management concepts have already been taken, there are still challenges
which need to be tackled before their full potential can be achieved.
This special issue aims to consolidate the recent developments and
advances in the area of Dynamic Spectrum Management wireless networks.
The articles describing original research and development,
implementation and validation related to both commercial and military as
well as survey articles related to the area are solicited. The topics of
interest include but are not limited to the following within the context
of Dynamic Spectrum Management and cognitive radio:

* Spectrum management (sensing and sharing)
* Multiple access for multi-user systems
* Secure spectrum sensing and access control
* Spectrum management in the presence of jamming
* Spectrum underlay and overlay
* SDR-enabled systems
* Modeling of spectrum sharing
* Interference characterization
* Design tradeoffs in dynamic spectrum sharing
* Cooperative communication approaches
* Spectrum sharing among licensed networks
* MAC and Routing protocols
* Cross-layer design
* Multi-hop
* Information theoretic aspects of spectrum sharing
* Work related to standardization, (e.g., IEEE 802.22, etc.)
