Advances on Cognitive Radio Technology in Flanders

imec, 4 October 2011

Researchers from Ghent University, IBBT, imec, K.U.Leuven, University of Antwerp and VUB will join forces and present their latest research results in the promising domain of cognitive radio and networking.

Why should you attend?

  • You will be informed on the latest results on cognitive radio and networking technology, spectrum sensing, and regulation and standardisation activities.
  • We won’t stick to theory and concepts, but present several real-life demos.
  • we are soliciting your input on possible valorisation trajectories.
  • We offer you a networking opportunity with people form academia, industry and innovation organizations.
