What is Cognitive Radio?




Cognitive Radio is an intelligent wireless communication system that is aware of its surrounding environment (i.e., outside world), and uses the methodology of understanding-by-building to learn from the environment and adapt its internal states to statistical variations in the incoming RF stimuli by making corresponding changes in certain operating parameters (e.g., transmit-power, carrier-frequency, and modulation strategy) in real-time, with two primary objectives in mind:

  • Highly reliable communications whenever and wherever needed;
  • Efficient utilization of the radio spectrum. [By Simon Hakins]
