CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Smart Antennas (CORSA)
December 12, 2011
Bangalore, India

Co-located with 5th International Conference on Internet Multimedia Systems
Architecture and Application (IMSAA-11)


Overview:

Building on the success of the first international workshop on Cognitive
Radios in December 2010, this workshop on Cognitive Radio and Smart Antennas
which is co-located with IMSAA 2011, aims to bring together researchers from
academia, industry, and government to present and discuss new techniques and
concepts for the enhancement of spectrum efficiency in wireless networks. Both
the smart antennas and the cognitive radios are considered as the key enabling
technologies for the emerging and future generations of wireless communication
systems. Apart from efficient use of the spectrum, the use of cognitive radio
technology together with reconfigurable communication and networking can
facilitate the integration and interoperability of different wireless systems.
The Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) formed out of cognitive radios extends the
radio link-level features to network layer functions and above. There has been
considerable interest in integrating the advantages of cognitive radio and multiple
antenna diversity, as the smart antennas have the potential not only to enhance
the converge and the throughput of the secondary network, but also to protect
primary users from harmful interference.

For the International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Smart Antennas (CORSA),
we invite papers offering novel research contributions in all aspects of
cognitive radio/networks and smart antennas.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Cognitive Radio and Network architectures
* Cognitive MIMO radios
* Wideband sensing and multiband agile wireless networks
* Dynamic spectrum sharing techniques
* Cooperative resource management and optimization
* Interference measurements and metrics
* Cross-layer design issues
* QoS provisioning in adaptive, spectrum agile, and cognitive networks
* Interoperability, interference and co-existence of dissimilar wireless network
* Antennas for beamforming and diversity
* Interference alignment techniques
* Multi-antenna channel measurements
* Spatial channel modeling
* Space-time processing, Space-time coding
* Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) network
* Multicarrier and multiuser communications
* Relaying and multihop
* Cooperative and sensor networks
* Reconfigurable and software defined radios
* Information theory and capacity bounds for spectrum sharing network
