Scope
------------------------

The aim of CROWNCOM 2018 is to bring together researchers from academia, industry, standards, and policy to present their new solutions of how cognitive radio systems will help deliver the required stringent requirements of future 5G and beyond 5G networks.

Topics
------------------------
• Spectrum sharing and cognitive networks
• Cognitive Radio Related Standards and initiative
• Application of artificial intelligence approaches to cognitive radio wireless networks
• Spectrum efficiency optimisation at any layer level perspective (at PHY, MAC, networking and application level)
• Radio resource slicing and radio virtualization techniques
• Spectrum for digital inclusion
• Application of cognitive radio and sharing for the IoT
• Sharing and coexistence in mmWave bands
• Experimental results on spectrum efficiency of end-to-end wireless systems and trials
• Spectrum sharing and security
• Business aspects and new opportunities related to spectrum sharing models (DSA, LSA, LAA, coexistence) and deployments

Publication
------------------------

All registered papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library.

CROWNCOM proceedings are indexed in leading indexing services, including Ei Compendex, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, CrossRef, Google Scholar, DBLP, as well as EAI’s own EU Digital Library (EUDL).

Authors of selected best accepted and presented papers will be invited to submit an extended version to:

• EAI Endorsed Transactions on Cognitive Communications

Instructions for paper submission
------------------------

Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may the work be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. Such papers will be rejected without review. Regular papers should be up to 10 pages in length.
