CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE VTC-Spring 2021 International Workshop on Smart Spectrum (IWSS 2021) Helsinki, Finland, 25 April 2021 Conference website: https://events.vtsociety.org/vtc2021-spring/ Workshop website: https://events.vtsociety.org/vtc2021-spring/conference-sessions/call-for-workshops/w7-international-workshop-on-smart-spectrum-iwss-2021/ ******************************************************************** AIMS AND SCOPE ----------------------------- Over the last years, wireless communication networks have faced ever-increasing traffic demands beyond the available capacity, a problem that is expected to worsen in the foreseeable future with the requirement for high data-rate, enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) services and the advent of a myriad of machine-type devices interconnected through the Internet of Things (IoT) for massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC). In order to cope with the forecasted traffic loads, an essential requirement for future wireless communication systems beyond 5G is efficient, flexible and dynamic spectrum utilization. Smart spectrum exploitation techniques have been developed for WRANs in TV white spaces, LTE-LAA mobile networks in ISM bands, CBRS radar systems, and cognitive satellite communications, to mention just a few examples. Spectrum sharing and on-demand spectrum assignment are very hot topics for innovative and sustainable future wireless world and continues to be an active field of research in the academic and industrial communities as well as in spectrum regulation activities. The International Workshop on Smart Spectrum 2021 aims to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners as well as members of standardization bodies and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future directions for smart spectrum utilization. This workshop aims to stimulate discussion and generation of innovative ideas for smart spectrum exploitation. TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------- The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Smart spectrum solutions for eMBB and mMTC/IoT in 5G networks. - Carrier aggregation and spectrum sharing for both sub-6GHz and mmWave spectrum. - Spectrum sensing, statistical modeling and field measurements. - Radio propagation modelling for spectrum sharing. - Sensor networks for smart spectrum awareness. - Interference management and avoidance techniques. - PHY/MAC layer techniques for enhanced spectrum exploitation (MIMO, full-duplex, NOMA, etc.). - Machine learning, deep learning and other AI techniques for smart spectrum. - Practical applications and use cases of smart spectrum exploitation in modern systems. - Field experiments and practical/prototype implementations. - Regulatory framework and activities for smart spectrum exploitation. AUTHORS GUIDELINES --------------------------------- Authors should follow the submission guidelines available at the conference website: https://events.vtsociety.org/vtc2021-spring/conference-sessions/call-for-workshops/ Submission requirements: 5-page paper (without overlength charge) and up to 2 additional pages are allowed with the purchase of additional page charges in the amount of $100 USD per additional page at the time of registration and final paper submission.
