IET Communications Call for Papers
SPECIAL ISSUE ON: Cognitive Communications
Future radio communication networks will be heterogeneous in nature and
will need to dynamically adapt to changing needs. This will require
networks, systems and devices to be increasingly intelligent and cognitive.
This special issue deals with subject of cognitive communications - the
application of cognition to wireless systems in general sense, a field
which incorporates techniques from several disciplines, including
distributed artificial intelligence, electromagnetics, regulatory policy
and economics, in addition to the wireless communication systems. Thus,
encompasses more than just the standard areas of cognitive radio and
cognitive networks including speculative areas such as cognitive
environments incorporating frequency selective surfaces (FSS) and
cognitive acoustics.
Topics of interest within the area of cognitive communications include,
but are not limited to:
- applications of distributed artificial intelligence
- cognitive routing metrics
- smart environments incorporating frequency selective surfaces (FSS)
- cognitive acoustics
- cognitive wireless sensor networks/systems
- reduced complexity cognitive radio
- link maintenance and robust cognitive radio
- dynamic spectrum access management
- cognitive physical layers
- cognitive femtocells
- standardisation and regulatory aspects
- spectrum charging/auctions in cognitive networks
- self-organising backhaul networks
- cross-layer design issues
- cognitive mesh, ad hoc and body networks
- fast and wideband spectrum sensing
- software defined and reconfigurable radio
- sensing and measurement for cognitive radio
- Cognitive Medium Access Control/Etiquette protocols
- security in cognitive radio & networks
- 'green' cognitive radio
- testbed and trials
