TCCNs Uniqueness

• TCCN fosters and emphasizes
• Cross-cutting research at the intersection of
  policies, economics, cognition and networking

5
TCCNs Scope

• The goal of TCCN is to provide a platform
  for its members in particular, and the cognitive
  networking research, development, policy making
  and standardization community in general, to
  interact and exchange technical ideas to identify
  major challenges and also drive solutions in the
  development of cognitive networking technologies.
  The technical issues addressed by the committee
  will include spectrum agile/dynamic spectrum
  access networks, related issues from PHY to
  application layers, security issues, policy
  issues (e.g., spectrum policy reform by U.S.,
  Canada and European Union), implementation
  technologies (e.g., software radio, middleware),
  economic considerations and standardization
  activities.
