CALL FOR PAPERS

Theme:

The radio frequency spectrum is becoming a scarce resource. Conventional fixed spectrum allocation cannot utilize the resource efficiently. Cognitive radio is a novel technology which improves the spectrum utilization through detection of unused radio spectrum and dynamic spectrum allocation. Cognitive wireless communications and cognitive wireless networks have potential to bring tremendous economic benefits to both customer and telecom operators. In recent years, cognitive wireless communications and networking arouse wide interests from both academia and industry. Many interdisciplinary research efforts and prototyping work are going on, including, spectrum sensing, coexistence mechanisms, medium access, QoS provisioning, environment awareness, cross layer techniques, upper layer studies, policy and pricing, signal processing, information theory, artificial intelligence, etc. The Workshop on "Cognitive Wireless Communications and Networking" provides a forum for discussio!

ns of all these most recent developments and brings together industry and academia, engineers and researchers. The Workshop is in conjunction with ICUMT-2009 (IEEE Sponsored) conference (http://www.icumt.org). The conference has strong industrial support from worldwide leading telecommunication vendors as well as national companies and SMEs. The workshop proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore (approved) and indexed in relevant databases. Authors of selected outstanding papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for consideration of publication in a special issue.

Topics:

The Workshop invites submissions on the following topics (but not limited to):

Flexible, dynamic and opportunistic spectrum management

Qos provisioning and resource management in cognitive radio networks

MAC, routing and transport protocols for cognitive radio networks

Cross-layer optimization of cognitive radio wireless networking

Multiple access scheme for cognitive radio

End-to-end modeling and performance of cognitive radio wireless networking

Collaborative radio resource, spectrum, power management, resource optimization

Cognitive radio devices, reconfigurable elements, evolution from software defined radio to cognitive infrastructures

Pricing and billing for cognitive radio devices and services

Authorization and authentication of cognitive radio devices

Pilot channels, radio enablers in support of cognitive infrastructures

Cognitive 3G/4G, wireless wide area infrastructures, short range networks, mesh topologies

Cognitive radio in IEEE 802.22 wireless regional area network (WRAN)

Security of cognitive radio wireless networking

Signal processing for cognitive radio wireless networking
