CROWNCOM 2015 Workshop

                                                                        
Cognitive Radio for 5G Networks

The exponential growth of wireless data traffic urged the international 
wireless industries and academia to lay out a new wireless network standard 
which is 5G. It is generally believed that the future 5G network may need to be 
engineered to meet a multitude of stringent requirements in terms of cost, 
energy and spectral efficiency, number of connected devices and latency. 
Cognitive Radio (CR) is one of the promising techniques to meet these 
requirements by exploiting underutilized spectrum bands especially at microwave 
frequencies where there is a spectrum crunch. CR has applications ranging from 
the traditional cellular to device-to-device (D2D) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) 
communication systems via interweave, underlay and overlay dynamic spectrum 
access. In cellular systems, CR can enhance the overall efficiency of the 
network by allowing opportunistic and shared spectrum access. And for the D2D 
systems, massive short range connectivity which facilitates efficient data 
transfer is realized using CR. On the other hand, network assisted CR 
techniques can be leveraged in vehicular applications, such as driverless cars, 
learning the road traffic which consequently contribute in achieving the zero 
accident goal of the future intelligent transport systems (ITS). Furthermore, 
for multi-tier heterogeneous network (HetNet), CR can be utilized to 
opportunistically offload delay tolerant data traffic to different tiers and 
radio access technologies (RATs) which is one of the effective means to 
alleviate traffic congestion.
Given the above promising potentials of CR technology, still a number of 
challenges arise including how to enable autonomous CR transmission without 
creating significant interference to the primary networks for Machine to 
Machine (M2M), D2D and HetNet communication systems. This workshop aims to 
gather researchers, academia, industry and regulators to present and discuss 
their research findings on the CR technology and, to highlight the 
opportunities, challenges and potentials of CR for realizing the future 5G 
network. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

•       Dynamic spectrum sharing and access
•       Massive/multiple antenna and cooperative spectrum sensing
•       Energy and spectral efficient CR network
•       Resource allocation, power/interference control and management for CR 
network
•       Algorithm, signaling and protocol design for CR network
•       Carrier aggregation, traffic/data offloading and load balancing in 
shared spectrum access
•       Cognitive HetNet, D2D, M2M and V2V networks
•       Mobile, ad-hoc and multi-hop CR network
•       Self-powered and context aware CR network
•       Experimental, link and system level simulation, field trail and 
prototype results


Contributions

Submitted papers must present original materials which are not currently under 
review in any other conference or journal and have not been previously 
published. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum of 6 
double column printed pages (minimum 10-point font) including figures and 
references. Papers exceeding 6 pages will not be reviewed at all. Authors 
should use the CROWNCOM Author's Kit template, ensuring IEEE Explore compatible 
PDF-format. More detailed information about the workshop and submission policy 
can be found at http://crowncom.org/2015/show/initial-submission. Workshop 
papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as well as other 
Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.
