CFP: IJDSN - Special Issue (SCIE Indexed), Deadline: Friday, 10 July 2015

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks (IJDSN) invites paper for the special issue on -

"Applications of Cognitive Radio Networks: Recent Advances and Future Directions"

Call for Papers

The demand of spectrum increased tremendously due to the recent advancements in wireless communication technology. This dramatic requirement of spectrum has challenged the current spectrum licensing system and inspired authorities to legalize opportunistic spectrum access. Recently, many authorities, researchers, and hardware manufacturers are working to solve this virtual scarcity issue. Cognitive radio (CR) networks are suitable in this mitigation, by utilizing licensed spectrum opportunistically. CR is rapidly proliferating into many wireless communication fields. Spectrum sensing, spectrum sharing, coexistence, spread spectrum, and MIMO techniques have become areas of concern over the past decade. More recently, many researchers are working in various application areas of cognitive radio networks (CRNs) and cognitive radio wireless sensor networks (CR-WSNs).
