U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) SpectrumX is pleased to announce that the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Innovation (DySPAN) 2026 has accepted multiple papers and tutorials authored by its expert Center members.
As stated on the event’s webpage, this symposium aims to “bring together industry, academia, and government stakeholders in a common forum for sharing experiences and accelerating the state-of-the-art in spectrum aspects related to wireless technologies in a multidisciplinary manner.” NSF SpectrumX is proud to support the event’s mission to foster innovation and drive progress in spectrum research and communications technology.

The Center congratulates these and all other members whose research submissions have been accepted for this conference. NSF SpectrumX and its members look forward to sharing their research innovations and learning from other conference participants.
This engagement with IEEE DySPAN 2026 continues SpectrumX’s historic support and collaboration with this symposium. In 2024, IEEE DySPAN was co-located with NSF Spectrum Week, an event organized by NSF SpectrumX and held near Washington, D.C. This week-long conference brought together six major spectrum events, including a SWIFT PI Meeting, NRDZCOM4, the NSF SpectrumX Spring 2024 Center Meeting, the NSMA 2024 Annual Conference, and a WSRD Workshop on the National Spectrum R&D Plan, in addition to IEEE DySPAN 2024. At IEEE DySPAN 2025, NSF SpectrumX researchers won multiple Best Paper awards for their accepted research papers.
IEEE DySPAN 2026 will be held from May 11-14 in Washington, D.C., United States of America.
