C3WN 2012 - The 2012 International Workshop on Cognitive and Cooperative Communications for Wireless Networks (C3WN)

Cognitive radio and cooperative communications are both promisingly emerging technologies for future wireless networks, which have received lots of attention from academia and industry communities. The 2012 International Workshop on Cognitive and Cooperative Communications for Wireless Networks (C3WN) will be held in conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on INTELLIGENT NETWORKING AND COLLABORATIVE SYSTEMS (INCoS 2012) in 19 - 21 September 2012, Bucharest, Romania .
Aims and Scope
The purpose of this workshop is to present high quality unpublished research papers on the theory of cognitive and cooperative communications together with their applications in future wireless networks. This workshop brings together members of the communications, information and network theory, and signal processing communities, working around the world. We seek original contributions that have not been published or currently under review for publications in any other journal. Accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore, and be indexed by Engineering Index (EI). In addition, some selected papers will be recommended for publication in SCI/EI journals.
Topics of Interest
Specific topics of the workshop include (but not limited to):
Cooperative spectrum sensing and detection
Cognitive relay transmission
Smart multi-antenna techniques
Adaptive modulation and coding
Coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission
Multi-user scheduling and cross-layer optimization
Flexible energy-aware green networking
Autonomous cognitive resource management and allocation
game theory for cognitive radio and cooperative networking
