CALL FOR
PAPERS
 
Theme:
 
The radio frequency spectrum is becoming a scarce
resource. Conventional fixed spectrum allocation cannot utilize the resource
efficiently. Cognitive radio is a novel technology which improves the spectrum
utilization through detection of unused radio spectrum and dynamic spectrum
allocation. Cognitive wireless communications and cognitive wireless networks
have potential to bring tremendous economic benefits to both customer and
telecom operators. In recent years, cognitive wireless communications and
networking arouse wide interests from both academia and industry. Many
interdisciplinary research efforts and prototyping work are going on, including,
spectrum sensing, coexistence mechanisms, medium access, QoS provisioning,
environment awareness, cross layer techniques, upper layer studies, policy and
pricing, signal processing, information theory, artificial intelligence, etc.
The Workshop on "Cognitive Wireless Communications and Networking" provides a
forum for discussions of all these most recent developments and brings together
industry and academia, engineers and researchers. The Workshop is in conjunction
with ICUMT-2009 (IEEE TS) conference http://www.icumt.org. The conference has
strong industrial support from worldwide leading telecommunication vendors as
well as national companies and SMEs. The workshop proceedings will be published
in IEEE Xplore (approved) and indexed in relevant databases. Authors of selected
outstanding papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers
for consideration of publication in a special
issue.
