Welcome to
CRNet 2010
The 2nd International ICST Workshop on Cognitive Radio Network
August 25, 2010 - Beijing, China
The 2nd International ICST Workshop on Cognitive Radio Network (CRNet 2010) will be held in conjunction with CHINACOM 2010 in Beijing, China, August 25-27, 2010. Accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore. High quality accepted and presented papers will be indexed by EI. (pending)
Cognitive radio is an emerging technology in wireless access,
aimed at vastly improving the way radio spectrum is utilized. CRNet
2010 is devoted to the development of cognitive radio-based
transmission and networking technologies in wireless communications.
The workshop provides a forum for discussion of all these
developments among engineers, scientists and researchers. The
attribution of cognition in the wireless world is one of the most
exciting areas in modern telecommunications. As an emerging
technology in wireless access, cognitive radio is aimed at vastly
improving the way radio spectrum is utilized. The motivation for
cognitive radio stems from various measurements of spectrum
utilization, which generally show that spectrum is under-utilized.
This means that there are many "holes" in the radio spectrum that
could be exploited by the secondary users. The secondary user must
exploit these spectrum opportunities without causing harmful
degradation to the primary system. The research challenges in this
area include devising methods for efficient spectrum pooling and
sensing, for capacity-approaching transmission scheme, for
interference management and dynamic resource allocation, and for
cross-layer design of protocols, as well as circuits and
architectures meeting the often challenging requirements.
Topics of Interest
The objective of this workshop is to bring together original, high-quality contributions that present new techniques, concepts and analyses in the area of cognitive radio algorithms and system design. Specific topics of the conference include (but not limited to):
l Spectrum sensing and pooling
l Network design and optimization
l Resource management
l Cross-layer design
l Channel modeling and transmission scheme
l Collaborative communications
l Beamforming and multicast methods
