CALL FOR PAPER:

Cognitive Radio (CR) is emerging as one of the key technologies to enhance spectrum efficiency for dramatically increased wireless network capacity requested by end users. A CR network aims to support highly reconfigurable devices that are capable of sensing the current environment, and adapting the transmission parameters to the specific scenarios, as well as meeting the corresponding Quality of Service (QoS) requirements.

The potential deployment of CR networks has been further augmented through various standardization activities supported by the IEEE (e.g. IEEE 802.22, IEEE 802.16h, IEEE 802.11y, IEEE 802.11af, IEEE 802.15.4m), and directives of spectrum regulatory agencies (e.g. the FCC in US, OFCOM in UK). These efforts have opened portions of the spectrum for opportunistic spectrum access and laid down rules for sharing the spectrum potentially for various novel and promising applications, such as smart-grid, Machine-to-Machine (M2M), vehicular networks, public safety networks, emergency networks. However, to fully realize the potential of CR networks, there is a need to draw the attention of the research community for developing advanced, context-based and innovative methodologies, techniques and algorithms possibly inspired by multi-disciplinary research fields.

The objective of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry to discuss the recent advances in both the methodological and algorithmic aspects and the novel applications of cognitive radio technologies. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following:

• Algorithms and protocols for self-configuring CR networks
• Centralized/distributed algorithms for CR network management
• Centralized/distributed algorithms for radio resource management in CR networks
• CR implementations, test-beds and spectrum measurements
• Environmental and context-based factors exploitation in CR systems
• Modeling, analysis and simulation of CR technologies and CR networks
• Multi-disciplinary approaches and solutions for novel CR methodologies
• Spectrum sensing and spectrum sharing techniques
• Spectrum database utilization schemes
• Protocol stack adaptation and cross-layering in CR systems
• Security and safety aspects of CR systems
• Game theoretical analysis of CR networks
• Machine learning techniques for CR networks
• Swarm Intelligence and biological-inspired networking for CR networks
• Cognitive Machine to Machine (M2M) communication
• Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) and Management in vehicular environments
• Cognitive radio ad hoc networks enabled by mobile nodes
• CR in TV white spaces and LTE networks

The 1st International Workshop on Competitive and Cooperative Approaches for 5G networks (COCOA)

Call for Papers - Submission Due Date: March 4, 2016

The 1st International Workshop on Competitive and Cooperative Approaches for 5G networks (COCOA)

18-20 May 2016, Oulu, Finland

http://ew2016.european-wireless.org/

Scope of the workshop

The scope of the COCOA workshop is to collect and present new approaches and techniques for the understanding and efficient management of competitive and cooperative behaviors in future and emerging wireless networks.

One of the cornerstones of the upcoming transition to 5th-generation (5G) mobile networks is the sharing of infrastructure and network resources which, together with key enabling technologies (such as HetNets, service virtualization, massive MIMO and mmWave communications), will allow network operators to provide users with unprecedented connectivity and communications performance levels. 5G networks will also rely heavily on softwarization and virtualization of network elements and services by exploiting Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigms. The efficient cooperative sharing of these resources allows for smart, flexible and efficient network management, but it may also lead to non-cooperative behaviors due to exploitation. While it is well-known that cooperative approaches lead to energy savings and performance improvements, there are some scenarios where cooperation among adversarial entities cannot be enforced, hence it is crucial to determine the fundamental performance limits of the network in a non-cooperative setting.

These two behavioral paradigms (both of which arise naturally in 5G networks) have strong implications on the network management and control processes of these systems. With this in mind, COCOA is seeking original contributions on performance evaluation and optimization techniques and tools from areas including (but not restricted to):

• Conflict-aware flexible network virtualization and slicing
• Resource sharing through pricing and reward mechanisms
• SDN and NFV approaches for competitive and cooperative resource sharing in 5G networks
• Cooperative communications for Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) technologies in 5G networks
• Relaying-aided efficient communications in 5G
• Economics for competitive and cooperative network and system management in 5G
• Adaptive and cooperative learning for channel estimation in 5G systems
• Centralized and distributed optimal resource allocation for 5G networks
• Cooperative and non-cooperative game theoretic approaches to 5G systems
• Cooperative and competitive interactions among TOs in 5G systems
• Cooperative infrastructure sharing for efficient and seamless handover management in 5G networks
• Cooperative beamforming and MIMO communications for 5G networks
• Security and privacy issues for cooperative communications in 5G systems
• Cooperative and competitive approaches for Network Coding approaches in 5G networks
• Cooperative and competitive energy-efficient communications and service provisioning
• Auction and bargaining-based resource allocation for virtualized 5G systems
• Market and economic models for Virtualized Network Function (VNF) provisioning

SCOPE AND OVERVIEW

The "IEEE WoWMoM'16 Workshop on Fifth Generation Wireless: From Bits to Packets (5GB2P)" provides a platform for interdisciplinary researchers and technical experts to elaborate on recent advances on 5G wireless networks from the PHY layer to the MAC layer. Fifth-generation wireless systems aim to 1000 fold capacity gains with 1ms maximal latency, highest possible quality of experience and seamless connectivity for users. To this end, multiple-layer paradigms need to be addressed to deal with the conflicting objectives that are required to meet the capacity and delay requirements of the 5G.

On the bit level, information theoretic and stochastic geometric tools play significant roles to allow the modeling and evaluation of new scenarios with new diversification of cells within a wireless coverage area. Small femto cells coexistence with macro cells, Massive MIMO, 3D beamforming, Device to Device communications, offloading, and multicell-multi-technology cooperation, within local and global coverage are at the heart of the breakthrough of the next generation wireless. Besides, other technologies that allow the co-existence of Heterogeneous (HetNet) setups of licensed and unlicensed spectrum with ubiquitous communications is the global objective that need to be explored.

On the packet level, new multiple access schemes that capitalize on multicarrier technologies need to be defined. MAC Layer resource allocation, coding and modulation schemes adapted to the 5G requirements is of fundamental importance to be discussed in this workshop. Therefore, several technologies that rely on the smart exploitation of the 3D holy grail of telecommunications: ‘time-frequency-and space’ need to be addressed. Addressing such 3D from bits to packets require a global awareness and micro-detailed optimization of multiple objectives with joint and cross layer perspectives.

The aim of this workshop is to address a set of potential technologies in the 5G from bits to packets, i.e. from the theory to the practical schemes and algorithms and to provide insights on the costs and gains associated to several solutions. This workshop will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to PHY and MAC layer for improving the spectral efficiency on a user and on a network level.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

• Information theoretic tools and fundamental limits for 5G
• Massive MIMO, Small Cells, D2D, M2M, Cloud RAN.
• Multicell Cooperation and Interference Management for 5G
• Radio Resource Allocation with Multicarrier Technologies for 5G
• Coding and Modulation Techniques for 5G
• Energy Efficiency for 5G
• MAC layer design for 5G
• Mobility Management for 5G
• 5G satellite/terrestrial convergence
• Demo and field trials
