Adrian, Andrew, Jim, Steve, Joe, Max, Roger,

 

I'm on the IEEE 5G and Beyond Initiative committee editorial board and just found out about the below Call-for-Papers for a special issue on licensed and unlicensed spectrum.  I'm not sure many of our participants would be interested in submitting papers providing an 802 point-of-view, but figure you are a better judge of that.  Please circulate as you think is appropriate.

 

Regards,

 

--Paul

Dear Paul,

 

Please see below the new JSAC CFP. As I mentioned to Jim Lansford, we always look for opportunities to work.

Special Issue of IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications

On Licensed and Unlicensed Spectrum for Future 5G/B5G Wireless Systems and Grid Modernization

 

The incredible increase in mobile data volumes triggered the evolution of unlicensed spectrum access by operator deployed access points. Currently, this mode of cellular operations is accepted as one of the most significant solutions to improve the resource availability and system scalability in future 5G networks. The local contiguous access of spectrum using ultra-dense deployment of small cells enable to utilize every single Hz of unlicensed spectrum to the edge limits. The millstones for such technology has been verified with the emergence of Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) and LTE-WiFi Aggregation (LWA) technologies. Considering grid modernization, the interoperability between licensed unlicensed spectrums allows to transfer utility data and energy control signalling using LAA type communications. The unlicensed interface of new technologies replaces aggregators in smart grid and supports transferring data to LTE network backbone. This implementation overcomes the data bottleneck in smart grid and improves control for power distribution. Therefore, 5G spectrum extension supports grid modernization thorough new evolved end-to-end communication features. Prospective authors are invited to submit original manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to:

 

·         Licensed and unlicensed spectrum interoperability

·         Shared usage of unlicensed band

·         Time alignment in multi-interface technologies

·         End-to-end communications for grid distribution

·         Data aggregation and utility control signaling

·         Modernized communications to support smart grid

·         Network stability, scalability and optimization 

·         Integration of various platforms onto a single network

 

Submission Guidelines:

 

Authors should submit their manuscripts following the IEEE JSAC guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/jsac/author-information

Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscripts to http://www.edas.info according to the following schedule:
