The first UK-India International Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Systems (UKIWCWS
2009) will be held in IIT Delhi, New Delhi, India from 11 to 12 December 2009. This
workshop is co-organized by the IEEE Delhi and IEEE UKRI Sections and also partly
funded by the UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) and Engineering
and Physical Sciences Research Council UK (EPSRC) and Department of Science and
Technology (DST), India.

You are invited to submit full papers that cover some aspect of cognitive wireless
systems. Specific topics of interest include:
• Fundamental performance limit of
dynamic spectrum access, cognitive
radio, multiuser, MIMO
• Interference metric modelling
• Beamforming, MIMO and antijamming
channel coding as
interference avoidance strategies
• Radio resource allocation and
dynamic spectrum sharing
• Spectrum sensing, measurements
and statistical modeling of spectrum
usage
• Wireless network co-existence
• Wideband cognitive radio systems
• Spectrum awareness and dynamic
channel selection
• Network coding and precoding
• Interference alignment
• Cooperative communications and
relay networks
• Cognitive MAC and routing protocols
for dynamic spectrum access
• Cross-layer optimization of cognitive
radio systems
• Applications of cognitive radio
networks
• Regulatory policies and their
interactions with signal processing
and networking
• Cognitive radio test-beds and
hardware prototypes
• Pricing models for spectrum sharing in
cognitive radio
• Game theoretic consideration in
cognitive radio
• QoS consideration in cognitive radio
