The IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN) is a leading conference on diverse issues related to spectrum sensing, access, sharing, coexistence, and utilization within current and emerging wireless technologies. After a three-year hiatus, DySPAN is relaunching to be held on May 13 - 16, 2024, with a broader coverage. The conference welcomes papers on both technology and policy issues that pertain to all aspects of advanced spectrum technologies. With an ever-growing demand for more wireless capacity and increasingly pervasive wireless applications, high-efficiency spectrum technologies are needed more than ever. As super-6 GHz technologies such as millimeter-wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) are becoming mainstream, dynamic spectrum access (DSA) needs to go beyond legacy sub-6 GHz methods and tackle pounding challenges in managing the precious spectral resources. Likewise, spectrum allocation and assignment policy and techniques need to reflect an increased demand for local and private networks and the need to share with incumbent services. DySPAN’24 aims to bring together both industry, academia, and government stakeholders in a common forum for sharing experiences and accelerating the state-of-the-art in wireless technologies.

Topics of interest to the conference include but are not limited to:

 

• AI and ML in spectrum access and management
