Proceedings of the 2010 ACM Workshop on Cognitive Radio Networks, CoRoNet@MOBICOM 2010, Chicago, Illinois, USA, September 20, 2010

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.
