It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the third edition of the ACM Workshop on Cognitive Radio Networks (CoRoNet 2011). Spurred by recent advances in software defined radios and cognitive radios, cognitive wireless networking has emerged as a promising approach to address several challenges affecting the networks of today, including spectrum efficiency, interference management, coexistence and interoperability. This year's workshop continues its tradition of serving as a forum for presenting early research results and experience reports on the hot topics in cognitive radio networks. CoRoNet 2011 helps provide researchers and practitioners a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various aspects of this exciting area.
The program includes two paper presentation sessions, one session from the open call and one session of invited papers and talks. We also have an exciting Keynote talk, a demonstration session showcasing early cognitive radio products, and a panel on "Separating Hype from Reality in Cognitive Radio Networks". We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for both researchers and practitioners.

Imperfect full duplex spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks
Time-slotted, which means that primary users only change their status (active or not active) at the start of each secondary frame, has been considered as a common assumption in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). However, in realistic cases, primary users ...
Deployment of a cellular network in the TVWS: a case study in a challenging environment
In this paper we analyze the potential of TV whitespaces for secondary cellular use. We study the situation where a single cellular operator improves the performance of its network by upgrading its existing cell-sites to opportunistically and cost-...
Aware channel assignment algorithm for cognitive networks
Several recent studies have shown that Cognitive Networks (CNs) can effectively address the spectrum shortage problem in wireless networks, which is mainly caused by the increasing number of wireless services and applications operating in unlicensed ...

Spectrum sensing received a lot of attention as a key aspect in the realization of opportunistic radios. Even today, there is a strong belief in the community that the cost and performance of sensing solutions don't meet the stringent requirements of ...
Cross-layer optimal spectrum sensing duration and scheduling in cognitive networks
We explore the effects of spectrum sensing time parameters on non-cooperative dynamic spectrum access by jointly considering the PHY layer sensing and the MAC layer sensing scheduling. Our work not only incorporates singular sensing performance measures ...
