CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM
Special Issue on
Cognitive Radio Technologies
and Systems
Motivated by the need
for efficient spectrum utilization, facilitated by regulatory policy movements,
and enabled by advances in RF technologies, there has been significant research
towards developing cognitive radio (CR) networks technologies. The purpose of
this special issue is to facilitate the exchange of cutting-edge research in
cognitive radio network technologies, including the exploration of networking
and communication protocols and algorithms needed to facilitate the
interconnection of CR platforms. Since CR research is taking place across
multiple communities, ranging from academic to government to industry, from
physical layer to networking to hardware researchers, we intend for this
special issue to serve as a forum for collaboration that will accelerate the design,
deployment, and eventual success of CR platforms. This special issue invites submission
of manuscripts on analytical modeling, protocol/algorithm design, and/or
experimental studies. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
·
Spectrum
Sensing and Spectrum Management
·
Cognitive
Radio Test-Beds and Hardware Prototypes
·
Enabling
CR technologies such as Software Defined Radios, IEEE P1900, and IEEE 802.22
·
Protocol
and Algorithms for the PHY, MAC, and Network layer
·
Accreditation,
Trust, & Security Mechanisms for Cognitive Radio Networks
·
QoS Support and Cross-Layer Protocol Design
·
Cooperation
and Game-Theoretical Protocols for Cognitive Radios
·
Practical
Experience and Systems Implementations
·
Applications
of Cognitive Radios
Original, unpublished
contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers
should be formatted according to MC2R guidelines (http://www.sigmobile.org/pubs/mc2r/guidelines/author.html).
Authors should submit their complete manuscript in PDF format via EDAS
(http://edas.info/) under the Cognitive Radio Track of MC2R according to the
following timetable:
