Welcome to ACM CoRoNet 2010!
On behalf of the organizing and technical committees of CoRoNet'10, we would like to welcome you to the 2010 ACM Workshop on Cognitive Radio Networks (CoRoNet), which is being held in conjunction with the 16th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (MobiCom). The workshop will take place on September 20 in Chicago at the Drake Hotel.
The workshop received 13 valid submissions. Following a thorough review process, 6 papers were accepted as full papers. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Technical Program Committee members for their dedication and help. These papers cover recent developments in cognitive radio networks on topics ranging from spectrum measurements, cooperative sensing, interference management, to cognitive access and networking.
Given the interesting mix of technical, policy and legal issues that cognitive networking involves, we felt that the workshop would be best served by having a program that reflects this mix. Hence, apart from the two technical sessions consisting of the accepted papers, the workshop will have invited talks from the regulatory bodies and academia, which offer perspectives on current and future spectrum policy and how academic research can influence the regulatory structure. In particular, we are thrilled and honored to have two outstanding keynote speakers: Julius Knapp, the chief of the FCC's Office of Engineering Technology (OET), and Jeffrey Reed, the Willis G. Worcester Professor in ECE, Virginia Tech.

Practical implementation of blind synchronization in NC-OFDM based cognitive radio networks
Spectrum Pooling has lead the cognitive radio research community to a new frontier where it is imperative to examine the architectures of wireless network protocols as well as the underlying hardware. Challenges at the physical layer (PHY) have ...
Cognitive spatial degrees of freedom estimation via compressive sensing
While regulations exist (or will exist) to guarantee that whitespace devices do not interfere with primary devices, how these devices will coexist with each other itself is typically left unspecified. In this paper we take a first step towards tackling ...
A decentralized MAC for opportunistic spectrum access in cognitive wireless networks
Cognitive MAC protocols are designed to efficiently utilize the spectral resources without affecting the performance characteristics of the primary users. The use of spectrum opportunities, so called white spaces, can often require stochastic approaches ...
Energy-efficient communication in next generation rural-area wireless networks
White space frequencies are highly attractive for long-distance communication due to greater signal propagation. The lack of standards and licensing issues with increased flexibility provided by the cognitive radio allow for sophisticated customized ...
Spectrum occupancy validation and modeling using real-time measurements
Existing research have considered Beta distribution in modeling channel occupancy of primary users in a licensed spectrum. This paper is the first initiative in validating this basic assumption in the cognitive radio paradigm using real-time ...
Network coding relayed dynamic spectrum access
Existing paradigms of dynamic spectrum access (DSA) impose a 'foe' relationship between the primary users (PUs) and the secondary users (SUs), where SUs may access the spectrum only when PUs cease using it, and the resurgence of PU traffic disrupts SU ...
