PE-CRN 2011

13 May 2011
Valencia, Spain

The Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Cognitive Radio Networks: from Theory to Reality PE-CRN 2011 is the 1st workshop focusing on the recent trend of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) from a research topic to operational networks. This workshop is collocated with the Networking conference and sponsored by the IFIP Technical Committee on Communication Systems (TC6). The main objectives of PE-CRN 2011 are to bring together the state-of-the-art results on the performance of CRNs including both theoretical studies and test-bed experiments from both academia and industry, and to share experience in making CRNs from theory to reality

We invite original, previously unpublished research and experiment-oriented contributions in the area of CRNs. The accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, published by Springer-Verlag, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Specific topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Modeling of dynamic spectrum access mechanisms
• MAC protocols and performance evaluation of CRNs
• Traffic patterns of primary users and secondary users in CRNs
• Implementation aspects of CRNs
• Performance of CRNs from test-beds and prototype networks
• Spectrum utilization measurement and models
• Spectrum sensing mechanisms
• Radio resource management
• QoS provisioning
• Energy management
• Business models and pricing
• Policy and regulatory aspects
• Standardization
