ACM CRAB 2013: The First ACM International Workshop on Cognitive Radio Architectures for Broadband In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2013 Miami, Florida, October 4th, 2013 http://www.i-a-i.com/CRAB2013/ Capacity gains enabling the next generation of mobile broadband require (1) access to broader pools of spectrum and (2) more efficient utilization of current wireless resources. Accomplishing both of these tasks requires cognitive enabling of mobile broadband infrastructure. The static spectrum allocation poses a major obstacle for efficient use of limited wireless resources across time, space, and frequency. This challenge has promoted developing cognitive radio technologies with network-level perception, learning, and adaptation for efficient spectrum utilization. There have been efforts to analyze fundamental limits of cognitive radio network capabilities and design algorithms at different layers to capture spectrum efficient solutions. Building upon these efforts, there is now an increasing demand to construct mature cognitive radio architectures and protocols ready to be implemented across the network stack and evaluate their performance. These capabilities can be used in many emerging applications and open new ways to improve spectrum efficiency of wireless communications. This workshop focuses on architectures, applications, protocols, and implementations of cognitive radio to address the future of mobile broadband. It includes both application of cognitive radio to current 4G LTE environments, and how it could be used to enable later generations of mobile broadband services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Spectrum Sharing - Spectrum Sensing and Dynamic Spectrum Access - Spectrum Database Architectures - Radio Environment Maps - Applications to Federal Spectrum Sharing and Public Safety - Cognitive Radio Access Networks - Cognitive Wireless Resource Allocation - Heterogeneous Spectrum Sharing - Spectrum Sharing with Radar - Applications to Small Cells - Cognitive Network Management - Cognitive Resource Allocation and Frequency Planning - Intelligent Interference Mitigation - Quality of Service in Cognitive Networks - Priority and Preemption in Cognitive Networks - Self-Organizing Networks - Spectrum Security - Spectrum Denial of Service - Spectrum Sensing Security - Resilient Spectrum Databases - Robustness of Cognitive Protocols - Cognitive Radio System Evaluation - Cognitive Radio Implementation - Software-Defined-Radio Design - Cognitive Radio Network Testbeds - Cognitive Radio Simulation and Emulation - Performance Tests IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: June 14, 2013 [extended] Author notification: July 10, 2013 Camera-ready papers: July 30, 2013 Submission requirements Please submit papers using the EasyChair site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=crab2013 Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines will be immediately rejected: - Maximum of 9 pages - Font size no smaller than 10 points - Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches × 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column - Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches × 11 inches) All submitted papers will be judged based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers.
