AIMS AND SCOPE
---
An essential feature of future wireless communications is efficient, flexible
and dynamic spectrum utilization. A wireless network taking advantage of
spectrum measurements is a new, promising approach among conventional dynamic
spectrum access techniques capable of delivering such smart spectrum utilization.
By analyzing real world spectrum utilization, it is possible to obtain information
on the actual spectrum usage statistics which can be used to develop spectrum
usage models that can enhance the performance of estimating and predicting
the spectrum status, as well as improving spectrum resource management,
sharing and allocation. IEEE WCNC 2017 International Workshop on Smart
Spectrum aims to bring together researchers, industry practitioners as well as
members of standardization bodies and government to meet and exchange ideas
on recent research and future directions for smart spectrum utilization.
The technical discussion will be focused on wireless network technology based
on spectrum measurements, spectrum utilization modeling, and their applications
for dynamic spectrum access.
