Cognitive Radio (CR) is the future of radio systems giving authorities and end users unprecedented capabilities, and completely new services expectations. This paper aims at introducing an evolutionary novel Cognitive Radio adaptation engine architecture inspired from theories developed in cognitive sciences. Adaptation is a fundamental feature of CR necessary for many applications and use case...

The topic of cognitive radios has been garnering a great deal of attention in the past several years. Opinions regarding the level of sophistication necessary to qualify a system as cognitive vary widely, and discussions have ensued regarding this technology. The software defined radio forum is also involved and has working group activity in the area of cognitive radio. Some of the working grou...

The Cognitive Radio (CR) technology is a major step forward to address the critical challenge of “spectrum scarcity” in Wireless communications. It is a methodology to develop effective communication systems with the available radio resources and their constraints. This tutorial provides a comprehensive overview on realization of RF Front-End (RF FE) for a Cognitive Radio (CR). It begins with a...

the prevalent communications networks suffer from lack of spectrum and spectrum inefficiency. this has motivated researchers to develop cognitive radio (cr) as a smart and dynamic radio access promised solution. a major challenge to this new technology is how to make fair assignment of available spectrum to unlicensed users, particularly for smart grids communication. this paper introduces an i...

Cognitive radio (CR) is the enabling technology for supporting dynamic spectrum access: the policy that addresses the spectrum scarcity problem that is encountered in many countries. The spectrum sensing problem has gained new aspects with cognitive radio networks. Radio spectrum is the most valuable resource in wireless communication. The cognitive radio and cognitive based networking are tran...

A cognitive radio (CR) is a transceiver that is aware, adaptive, and capable of learning. It may be visualized and realized as an intelligent software package (cognitive engine) controlling a software defined radio platform. The cognitive engine executes a set of nested loops constituting a cognition cycle, drawing on experience and stored knowledge to optimize a set of user-chosen quality of s...

Cognitive radio (CR) is an engineering that addresses the issue of shortage of range and prepares for efficient utilization of the same. Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSN) requests vitality effective and a practical co-agent range sensing procedures which performs well in blurring and shadowing environment with ideal qualities of sensing parameters at low computational complexities. In cogn...

-The future of Wireless Communication Technology is going to be basically based on Cognitive Radio (CR) or Intelligent Radio (IR). At present the Spectrum allocation governed by the government agencies or the service providers who are in need of more spectrums, to manage the increasing frequency demands from the end users as the technological improvement increases exponentially. Efficient utili...

Adaptive and cognitive radios (CR) have been becoming popular for optimizing mobile radio system transmission and reception. One of the most important elements of the adaptive radio and CR concepts is the ability to measure, sense, learn about, and be aware of parameters related to the radio channel characteristics, availability of spectrum and power, interference and noise temperature, operati...
