******************************************************************** 

AIMS AND SCOPE 
----------------------------- 
An essential feature of future wireless communications is efficient, flexible
and dynamic spectrum utilization. A wireless network taking advantage of 
spectrum measurements is a new, promising approach among conventional dynamic 
spectrum access techniques capable of delivering such smart spectrum utilization. 
By analyzing real world spectrum utilization, it is possible to obtain information 
on the actual spectrum usage statistics which can be used to develop spectrum
usage models that can enhance the performance of estimating and predicting
the spectrum status, as well as improving spectrum resource management, 
sharing and allocation. IEEE WCNC 2017 International Workshop on Smart 
Spectrum aims to bring together researchers, 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. 
The technical discussion will be focused on wireless network technology based
on spectrum measurements, spectrum utilization modeling, and their applications 
for dynamic spectrum access.


TOPICS OF INTEREST 
--------------------------------- 
The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Spectrum measurement techniques (wideband, long term, and wide area measurements)
- Spectrum measurement campaigns and system prototyping
- Sensor networks for spectrum measurement
- Spectrum utilization database techniques
- Multidimensional spectrum utilization models
- Statistical modeling of radio environment
- Radio propagation modeling for spectrum sharing
- Cognitive radio networks and dynamic spectrum access
- Advanced spectrum sensing techniques
- Advanced MAC layer protocol design
