DYSPAN 2012 - 2012 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DYSPAN)

In 2012, we are particularly looking for papers reporting on systems aspects and prototypes, summaries on the
regulatory advancements, recent spectrum measurements and analysis of white space opportunities, and business
cases for DSA. The contributions outlining advances in self-optimization, learning, and context sensitivity of cognitive
radios and DSA concept that consider whole networks and describe novel optimization are encouraged. 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and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference.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:
Spectrum measurement and models
? Architecture and platform for dynamic spectrum
access networks
? Efficient and broadband spectrum sensing
? Spectrum sensing mechanisms and protocol support
? Interference metrics and measurements
? Radio resource management and dynamic
spectrum access networks
? Applications of DSA
? Business model / Pricing for dynamic
spectrum access
? Market trends for secondary spectrum usage
? Regulations for dynamic spectrum access
? Software regulation / standardization and
equipment certification
? Industrial and government role in dynamic
spectrum access
? Dynamic spectrum auction and economics
? Spectrum etiquettes for unlicensed bands
? Defining / Enforcing rights / responsibilities
of spectrum licensees and easements
? 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 protocol
? Trust and security issues
? Experimental prototypes and results
PAPER SUBMISSIONS: The conference language is English. Papers should be concisely written. Maximum paper
length for review is 12-pages in IEEE conference proceedings format (two-column and 10-point font).
