Call For Papers IEEE CAMAD Special Session On Design, Modelling and Analysis of Cognitive Radio Networks

This document calls for papers for a special session on cognitive radio networks at the IEEE CAMAD conference. Cognitive radio networks allow wireless devices to dynamically and automatically change their transmission parameters to access unused spectrum. The special session aims to discuss novel ideas and studies related to the design, modeling, and analysis of cognitive radio networks. Topics of interest include spectrum sensing techniques, energy efficient sensing, dynamic spectrum management protocols, quality of service analysis, and balancing security and energy efficiency in cognitive radio networks. The session organizers are Dr. Ghazanfar Safdar from the University of Bedfordshire, Dr. Nauman Aslam from Northumbria University, and Dr. Gregory Epiphaniou.

IEEE CAMAD Special Session on


Design, Modelling and Analysis of Cognitive Radio Networks
Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) have emerged as one of the fastest growing research area
in modern communication systems. The congestion in available wireless spectrum
resourcescombined with the proliferation of pervasive wireless services and applications have
been the key drivers for research and innovation in CRNs. The basic building blocks of
CRNsconsist of intelligent programmable wireless transceivers that can sense their
environment and dynamically adapt their transmission features including, transmission
waveform,channel access method, spectrum sensing and networking protocols.
Cognitive radio enabled channel access significantly differs from traditional wireless channel
access mechanisms because of the fact that cognitive radio devices must be able to sense the
comeback of licensed user and accordingly vacate the channel to avoid any possible collision.
This requires intelligent spectrum sensing techniques in place to help cognitive radio devices
find suitable empty spaces. In this context there are challenges as whether the spectrum
sensing should be distributed or centralised and research work must address these challenges
adequately. Cognitive radio devices portability and mobility require prolonged battery life
and thereby the challenge of energy efficient spectrum sensing and subsequent
communication remains evergreen research problem. Medium access control schemes
designed for CR devices must be optimised for sensing and communication time for
prolonged battery life. Stemming from the traditional wireless security, cognitive radio
devices suffer from additional security problems, such as common control channel security,
primary user emulation attacks, spectrum broker security problems etc.;therefore research
work needs to be done to adequately tackle these security related problems.
Motivated by the above developments and changes, the aim of this special session is to bring
together a group of leading academic researchers and technology experts to provide a
platform for discussion on novel ideas and studies related to design, modelling and analysis
of CRNs. The research and interest areas to be covered by the special session include, but are
not limited to:

Novel algorithms/techniques for spectrum sensing


Modelling and analysis of energy efficient spectrum sensing techniques
Performance analysis of spectrum access in congested environments
Novel protocols and techniques for dynamic spectrum management
Privacy, trust and security issues cognitive radio network
Design of primary user interference mitigation techniques
Cooperative channel access mechanism in cognitive radio networks
Analysis of Quality of Service (QoS) for secondary users in cognitive radio networks
Energy efficiency and security balance in cognitive radio networks
Performance analysis using experimental test beds
