FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
Fifth IEEE Symposium on New Frontiers in Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks
(DySPAN 2011)
Aachen, Germany
3-6 May 2011
http://www.ieee-dyspan.org/

IEEE DySPAN is the premier venue to present, discuss and publish new
results in DSA and Cognitive Radio. IEEE DySPAN 2011, like its
predecessors, is a unique symposium that gathers technology, policy and
regulatory communities together. We will have special program tracks for
technology and policy papers. The fifth symposium will also include system
demonstrations, panels, invited talks, and tutorials tailored for special
target audiences such as regulators and industry.

IEEE DySPAN 2011 welcomes contributions dealing with regulatory aspects of
dynamic spectrum access, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol
design for cognitive radios and networks, as well as application-oriented
contributions dealing with architectures, platforms, signaling and
multiple access schemes. In 2011, we are particularly looking for papers
reporting on systems aspects and prototypes, surveys of regulatory
advances, recent spectrum measurements and analysis of white space
opportunities, and business cases for DSA. We invite contributions
outlining advances in self-optimization, learning, and context sensitivity
of cognitive radios, and DSA concepts that consider whole networks and
describe novel optimization. Selected conference papers will be
fast-tracked to journal publications.

We seek original and unpublished work not currently under review by any
other journal/magazine/conference. We will be developing specific
technology and policy programs with topics including, but not limited to,
the following:

**** TECHNOLOGY TRACK ****
• Spectrum measurement and models
• Architectures and platforms for dynamic spectrum access networks
• Efficient and wideband spectrum sensing
• Spectrum sensing mechanisms and protocol support
• Interference metrics and measurements
• Radio resource management in dynamic spectrum access networks
• Applications of DSA
• New spectrum sharing models
• Multiple access schemes for cognitive radio networks
• Cross-layer optimization for cognitive radio networks
• Information-theoretic aspects of cognitive radio networks
• QoS provisioning and MAC protocols
• Trust and security issues
• Experimental prototypes and results

**** POLICY TRACK ****
• Business models / pricing for dynamic spectrum access
• Market trends in secondary spectrum usage
• Regulations for dynamic spectrum access
• Software regulation / standardization and equipment certification
• Industrial and government role in dynamic spectrum access
• Dynamic spectrum auctions and economics
• Spectrum etiquettes for unlicensed bands
• Defining / enforcing rights and responsibilities of spectrum licensees
and easements

**** IMPORTANT DATES ****
Abstract Registration 8 November 2010 (Firm, no extension)
Paper Submissions Due 15 November 2010 (Firm, no extension)
Tutorial, Panel, Demo Proposals Due 15 November 2010
Acceptance Notification 8 February 2011
