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 2015 International Workshop on Smart Spectrum (IWSS) 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. 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
- Spectrum sensing techniques based on statistical modeling
- MAC layer access protocol design based on statistical modeling
