CALL FOR PAPERS
1st Workshop on New Applications and Performance of Cognitive Radio
Networks in TV White Spaces
in conjunction with IEEE IPCCC 2010,
Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, December 9th-11th 2009,
The recent ruling by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
opening up portions of the TV bands,
also known as TV White Spaces (TVWS), for opportunistic transmission has
spurred significant interest
in the academia and industry to develop theory, prototypes and standards
that leverage this new spectrum
opportunity. Cognitive Radio (CR) is an enabling technology that will
allow adapting the radio's operating
characteristics to the real-time conditions of the environment and make
effective use of the TVWS while
protecting incumbents. As CR research gains further traction, new and
innovative application scenarios are
being envisaged that merit the attention of the community. As an example,
energy efficient "green" communications
may be realized by regulating transmit power and identifying frequencies
with greater propagation distances.
Similarly, wireless devices for electric utility metering and medical
implantable sensors may identify and utilize
TVWS for enhanced coverage, more robust and collision-free operation. Such
novel applications require re-visiting
several classical networking paradigms of spectrum-agile communication,
and merging inter-disciplinary research
from a practical viewpoint.
This workshop will focus on key research challenges related to the dynamic
spectrum access paradigm and
cognitive radio networks, and it is intended to be a forum for
collaboration across multiple communities,
ranging from academic to government to industry. Original papers are
invited on protocol/algorithm design,
experimental results, analytical modeling in the area of dynamic spectrum
access and cognitive radio networks
covering but not limited to following topics:
• Utility networks (e.g. electricity metering, gas, water) based on CRs
and TVWS
• Wireless sensor and actuator networks based on CRs and TVWS
• CR networks for building and home automation
• Public safety and emergency services using TVWS
• Healthcare and medical applications of CR networks using TVWS
• Medical body area Networks based on CR technology
• Energy-aware CR-based PHY, MAC and Network protocols
• Energy harvesting, optimization and adaptation schemes using CR
• Performance evaluation of PHY, MAC, Network and Application protocols
for CR networks
• Economic models of joint energy and spectrum-aware operation
• Spectrum sensing and cognitive radio test-beds and prototypes
• Standardization of CRNs for fixed and personal/portable devices in TVWS,
such as IEEE 802.22, 802.19, 802.11 and ECMA 392
• Coexistence of heterogeneous applications and CRNs in TVWS
• Multimedia delivery using CR networks
