** Technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society
All accepted and presented papers will be submitted for publication in IEEE
Xplore Digital Library **

CWN-2026 will be held in Avignon, France, on October 14, 2026, co-located
with the 22nd International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing,
Networking, and Communications (WiMob2026).

SCOPE
This workshop aims to provide a space for researchers and technologists to
present innovative ideas and contributions in cooperative wireless
networks, a key component in advancing the Future Internet. The concept of
cooperation applies to a broad range of technologies, systems, and
applications, facilitating more efficient spectrum usage (e.g., cognitive
radio), extended network coverage (e.g., cooperative diversity, multi-hop
relaying, side-link communications), improved performance and reliability
(e.g., network coding, full-duplex relaying, cross-layer protocols, network
slicing), intelligent network management through AI-driven optimization
(e.g., machine learning for resource allocation and interference
mitigation), and enhanced user safety (e.g., vehicular networks, emergency
networks), among other key aspects.

The organizers of this workshop invite prospective authors to submit
high-quality technical papers addressing, but not limited to, the following
topics of interest:

- Dynamic resource allocation in wireless cooperative networks
- Cross-layer management and protocols for cooperative networks
- Cross-layer design and optimization for cooperative networks
- Control and management in cooperative networks
- Performance analysis in cooperative networks
- Cooperative diversity
- Information theory aspects of cooperation
- Power management in wireless cooperative networks
- Business models and use cases for cooperative networks
- Multimedia transmission in cooperative networks
- Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) in cooperative wireless network=
s
- Cooperation in 5G and beyond cellular networks
- Cooperation in software-defined networks (SDNs) aimed to wireless
communications
- Cooperation in wireless sensor networks (WSNs)
- Cooperation in mmWave and THz networks
- Cooperation in UAV-assisted networks
- Cooperation in public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) networks
- Cooperation in Ad Hoc networks
- Cooperation in the Internet of Things (IoT)
- Cooperation in low power wide area networks (LPWAN)
- Cooperation in nano-wireless communications
- Cooperation in vehicular wireless networks
- Cooperation in mobile cloud/edge/fog computing
- Cooperative networking in user-provided networks (UPNs)
- Cooperation in networks with network function virtualization (NFV)
- Cooperation in network slicing scenarios
- Cooperation in multi-hop and device-to-device (D2D) scenarios
- Cooperation in cell-free networks
- Cooperation in Decentralized non-cellular 5G
- Security and privacy in cooperative wireless networks
- Applications and services over cooperative networks
- AI-driven optimization for cooperative wireless networks
- Full-duplex relaying for cooperative wireless networks
- Side link communications using 5G NR
- Testbeds, strategies, and experimentation on cooperative networks

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and
will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Digital Xplore. Authors are
required to submit fully formatted papers (PDF), with graphs, images, and
other special areas arranged as intended for the final publication. Papers
should be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard conference
format (8.5" x 11" - US letter, Two- Column). CWN requires using the IEEE
conference template that can be found here:
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html

The final manuscript for publication will be limited to 6 IEEE pages
(Maximum of two (2) additional pages can be purchased, each paper cannot
exceed 8 pages). You can find a copy of the IEEE standard conference
template for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats here. Your paper must be
printable in order to be accepted. All submissions must be made through
EDAS (https://edas.info/N35174).

At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register at the
regular rate (non-student). Each registration will cover one accepted
paper. WiMob Executive Committee reserves the right not to include in IEEE
Xplore the papers that are not presented at the conference.
