Today's wireless services have come a long way since the roll out of the conventional voice-centric cellular systems. The demand for wireless access in voice and high rate data multi-media applications has been increasing. New generation wireless communication systems are aimed at accommodating this demand through better resource management and improved transmission technologies. The interest in increasing Spectrum Access and improving Spectrum Efficiency combined with both the introduction of Software Defined Radios and the realization that machine learning can be applied to radios has created new intriguing possibilities for wireless radio researchers. This workshop is aimed to discuss the cognitive radio, software defined radio, and adaptive radio concepts from several aspects. The scope will include application of SDR in advanced communication systems, challenges and issues for application of SDR, adaptive wireless communication systems, parameter estimation for adaptation of wireless communication systems (learning environment an other factors), SDR and cognitive radio architecture, spectrum efficiency and soft spectrum usage.
