One application of cognitive radios is to provide broadband wireless access (BWA) in the licensed TV bands on a secondary access basis. This concept is examined to see under what conditions BWA could be viable. Rural areas require long range communication which requires spectrum to be available over large areas in order to be used by cognitive radios. Urban areas have less available spectrum at...

This paper firstly gives a detail analysis on the security problems faced in cognitive radio network, and introduces the basic issues about cognitive radio network. Then, according to the differences between cognitive radio network and existing wireless network, it analyses and discusses the dynamic spectrum access security and artificial intelligence. Finally, it draws a conclusion to security...

Cognitive radio sensor network (CRSN) has emerged as a promising solution to address the spectrum-related challenges of wireless sensor networks (WSN). Moreover, cognitive radio (CR) gives us a possibility to maximize the utilization efficiency of limited spectrum resources. In this paper, we propose an intelligent power control scheme to address the communication requirements in cognitive radi...
