Emerging applications, services, and engineering for cellular cognitive systems: part II [Guest Editorial]

We are back this month with a sequel to our May 2015 Feature Topic on Emerging Applications, Services, and Engineering for Cognitive Cellular Systems (EASE for CCS). In this followup, we have eight more articles that present emerging applications integrated with CCS through novel frameworks. These emerging applications include energy harvesting, network virtualization, machine learning approaches, backward-compatible cognition in LTE, self-organization capabilities, integration of vehicular networking over unlicensed spectrum, 2.4/5 GHz hybrid architecture, and integration of D2D communications.
