Submission
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Information is an international peer-reviewed Open Access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. For the first couple of issues the Article Processing Charge (APC) will be waived for well-prepared manuscripts. English correction and/or formatting fees of 250 CHF (Swiss Francs) will be charged in certain cases for those articles accepted for publication that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections.

Title: Radio Resource Management for Cognitive Radio Networks
Author: Nikos Dimitriou

Abstract: The RF spectrum limitations and the rising cost of licensing its exclusive use have led to the emergence of concepts related to the intelligent exploitation of frequency bands by multiple -context aware- cognitive radio networks. In the case of such systems, Radio Resource Management (RRM) techniques are important to balance and optimize the radio resource usage among users of different systems sharing the same frequency band, avoiding the generation of co-channel interference. The paper will provide a concise description of representative RRM techniques used in different cognitive radio system scenarios, analyzing the criteria that are assumed and the tradeoffs that have to be considered.
