CRN 2013 - Cognitive Radio and Networks Symposium

ICC 2013 Cognitive Radio and Networks Symposium
Submission Deadline: September 16, 2012
The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) will be held in the vibrant city of Budapest, Hungary from 9 ? 13 June 2013. This flagship conference of IEEE Communications Society aims at addressing an essential theme on “Bridging the Broadband Divide”. The conference will feature a comprehensive technical program including several Symposia and a number of Tutorials and Workshops. IEEE ICC 2013 will also include an attractive expo program including keynote speakers, various Business, Technology and Industry forum, and vendor exhibits. We invite you to submit your original technical papers, industry forum, workshop, and tutorial proposals to this event. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE ICC 2013 Conference Proceedings and in IEEE Xplore. Full details of submission procedures are available at http://www.ieee-icc.org/.
Scope and Topics of Interest:
The Cognitive Radio and Networks Symposium will focus on the emerging cognitive radio communications and networking technologies, which aim at mitigating the spectrum underutilization problem in wireless accessing networks, improving the interoperability and coexistence among different wireless/mobile communications systems, and making the future generation radio devices/systems autonomous and self-reconfigurable. The goal of this symposium is to bring together and disseminate the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of analysis, optimization, design, implementation, and application of cognitive radio communications and networking technologies.
To ensure complete coverage of the advances in the cognitive radio communications and networking technologies, this Symposium presents original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas:
? Spectrum sensing, measurements and statistical modeling of spectrum usage
? Waveform design, modulation, interference aggregation, mitigation for cognitive radio
? Distributed cooperative spectrum sensing and multiuser access
? Cognitive medium access control, interference management, handoff and routing protocols
? Resource allocation for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-based cognitive radio communications
? Distributed adaptation and optimization methods
? Cross-layer optimization of cognitive radio systems
? Challenges and issues in designing cognitive radios and networks
? Architectures and building blocks of cognitive radio networks
? Energy-efficient environment-friendly cognitive radio communications and networking (green cognitive radio)
? Cognitive intelligent techniques (e.g., machine learning, transfer learning, information-theoretic learning, bio-inspired intelligence)
? Self-configuration, interoperability and co-existence issues
? Dynamic spectrum accessing and sharing in unlicensed bands
? Security and robustness of cognitive spectrum-agile networks
? Applications and services based on cognitive radio networks (e.g., cognitive networking in TV whitespace, cognitive femtocell networks, public safety networks, and vehicular networks)
? Economic aspects of spectrum sharing (e.g., pricing, auction) in cognitive radio networks
? Regulatory policies and their interactions with communications and networking
? Cognitive radio standards, test-beds, simulation tools, and hardware prototypes
