4th International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications

Hannover | Jun, 22-24 2009

Announcement

3rd Nov. 2008

Paper submission is now open until 23rd February 2009.

We as well extended the deadline for special session proposals by one week (instructions see below).

We are looking forward to your contributions.

9th Oct. 2008

Special sessions can be proposed via e-mail to specialsession@crowncom2009.org.

Deadline is the 3rd November 2008.  Extended: 10th Nov. 2008

Please provide a short abstract (half DIN A4 page) including title, scope, organizer (short CV, photo) and a short reasoning why this special session should be included to the program of the CrownCom 2009. Topics should focus to special research topics within the scope of the conference.
Large international research projects are encouraged to submit their latest research work to track 4 of the CfP. The track gives as well room for practical demonstrations. If you are interested in organizing a session within this track or want to offer a practical demonstration, please indicate your ideas by writing an e-mail to the above e-mail adress as well.

Scope

The owned spectrum allocation model in use today is believed to be obsolete. Firstly due to its intrinsic principle of fixed resource allocation that leads to a supposed spectrum scarcity, later revealed to be a question of non-efficient utilization. Secondly comes into play the need of introducing new wireless applications and services, which have experienced a huge growth in the last couple of decades, and are now supposed to cope with a multitude of already deployed standards. Both scenarios motivate the use of dynamic spectrum access in order to turn primary licensed networks into dynamic spectrum access networks (DSANs). This lends itself to cognitive radio, an enabling technology that will benefit several types of players and help to implement a more efficient approach regarding spectrum requirements in the future.
