Cognitive radio is a promising technology that will enable the next generation intelligent wireless communications. Cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum sharing systems use innovative spectrum management techniques, which allow different systems to share the same frequency band to utilize the radio spectrum in an efficient way. CR technology enables the development of an intelligent and adaptive wireless communication systems that are able to work in an environment aware manner. On the other hand, cooperative relay based wireless networks are expected to provide significant throughput improvement and coverage extension for next-generation wireless systems. Cognitive radio and cooperative communication networks should work jointly and they represent a new paradigm

which involves the innovations in both smart radio transmission and distributed signal processing techniques, promising a significant increase of overall capacity in futuristic wireless networks. The research activities on the cognitive and cooperative networks have received a lot of attentions from both academia and industrial communities. This workshop will showcase both theoretical and application research results on cognitive and cooperative wireless networks, serving as an excellent venue for worldwide leading experts to share their state-of-the-art advancements in this fast-growing research area.
