IEEE International Conference on Communications (IEEE ICC 2014)
The Centrepoint of Digital Economy
16 - 20 June 2014, Sydney, Australia
Cognitive Radio and Networks Symposium (CRN)
The 2014 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) will be held in
the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia between 16 and 20 June 2014. The theme
of this flagship conference of IEEE Communications Society for 2014 is
Communications: The Centrepoint of Digital Economy. The conference will
feature a comprehensive technical program including twelve Symposia and a
number of Tutorials and Workshops. IEEE ICC 2014 will also include an
attractive expo program including keynote speakers, and Industry Forum
Exhibitions (IFE). 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 2014 Conference Proceedings
and in IEEE Xplore®. Full details of submission procedures are available at
http://www.ieee-icc.org/2014.
Scope and Topics of Interest:
The Cognitive Radio and Networks (CRN) 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/wired 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 this field, the Cognitive Radio
and Networks Symposium solicits original contributions in, but not limited to,
the following topical areas:
- Spectrum sensing, measurements and statistical modeling of spectrum usage
- Distributed cooperative spectrum sensing and multiuser access
- Dynamic spectrum accessing and sharing in unlicensed bands
- Waveform design, modulation, interference aggregation and mitigation for
cognitive radio networks
- Cognitive medium access control (MAC), interference management, handoff and
routing protocols
- Resource allocation for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-based cognitive
radio communications
- Distributed adaptation and optimization methods for cognitive radio networks
- Cross-layer optimization of cognitive radio networks
- Ranging and localization in cognitive radio networks
- Radio environment mapping for cognitive radio 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
- 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 small cell networks, public
safety networks, and vehicular networks)
- Cognitive radio standards, test-beds, simulation tools, hardware prototypes
and implementation
- Regulatory policies and their interactions with communications and networking
- Economic aspects of spectrum sharing (e.g., pricing, auction) in cognitive
radio networks
- Other challenges and issues in designing cognitive radios and networks
