EURASIP Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Special Issue on 
"Advanced Coexistence Technologies for Efficient Radio-Resource Usage".


Call for Papers
---------------

Given the event of smart phones and other data-intensive wireless devices, as 
well as a greater proliferation of innovative wireless services and 
applications, demand for data capacity is dramatically increasing. Coexistence 
technologies have been identified as a means of accommodating such a rapidly 
growing range of wireless devices and services in spectrum-limited radio 
environments. Such technologies might increase spectral efficiency in 
radio-spectrum usage, or alternatively might improve energy efficiency or 
assist in striking the delicate balance between the two. Moreover, coexistence 
technologies might make use of spectrum where it is otherwise not used in order 
to increase capacity, or might facilitate sharing of deployed infrastructure or 
better optimization of the infrastructure’s behavior, based on enhanced 
awareness of the configurations of radios as well as traffic demand and 
profiles currently in the locality. These are among numerous other benefits. To 
realize such potential, coexistence technologies such as spectrum and network 
sharing are being addressed by researchers from many different communities. The 
goal of this special issue is to give an overview of recent advances in such 
research and to present innovative results and trends. The topics covered by 
this special issue include, but are not limited to:

- Novel approaches to interference management, taking into account the 
particular challenges of coexistence technologies on different layers (e.g. 
dirty paper, timeslot management, coexistence-aware routing),
- Multihop interference networks including XX, XS, and XZ channels,
- Cooperative transmission techniques,
- Fundamental performance bounds and limitations for coexisting wireless 
networks,
- Coexistence management (e.g., cooperative, distributed, centralized, and 
hybrid approaches) and coexistence management for selected groups of devices 
(e.g., IEEE 802.19 for IEEE systems) and generic wireless frameworks,
- Signaling, feedback and control channels for coexistence,
- Novel scenarios and applications for coexistence technologies (e.g. privacy 
and security),
- Acquisition, learning, and management of context information by sensing, 
probing or exchange of control information,
- Regulatory and business challenges in spectral coexistence.
