Measurements for Cognitive Radio Communication Systems

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect both review and original research articles related to measurement methods in cognitive radio communications. It is open to contributions ranging from the proposal of novel spectrum-sensing algorithms, to the characterization of sensing methods in controlled and unknown environments and the implementation of spectrum occupancy algorithms on real devices, e.g., software-defined radios, with special focus on the measurement contribution to the design and performance optimization of the proposed methods. Original contributions that look at novel standardization activities in the world of cognitive radios and, more generally, of dynamic spectrum access are also deeply encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information

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. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
