A comprehensive treatment of cognitive radio networks and the
specialized techniques used to improve wireless communications
The human brain, as exemplified by cognitive radar, cognitive radio, and
cognitive computing, inspires the field of Cognitive Dynamic Systems. In
particular, cognitive radio is growing at an exponential rate.
Fundamentals of Cognitive Radio details different aspects of the human
brain and provides examples of how it can be mimicked by cognitive
dynamic systems. The text offers a communication-theoretic background,
including information on resource allocation in wireless networks and
the concept of robustness.
The authors provide a thorough mathematical background with data on game
theory, variational inequalities, and projected dynamic systems. They
then delve more deeply into resource allocation in cognitive radio
networks. The text investigates the dynamics of cognitive radio networks
from the perspectives of information theory, optimization, and control
theory. It also provides a vision for the new world of wireless
communications by integration of cellular and cognitive radio networks.
This groundbreaking book:
- Shows how wireless communication systems increasingly use cognition to
enhance their networks
- Explores how cognitive radio networks can be viewed as spectrum supply
chain networks
- Derives analytic models for two complementary regimes for spectrum
sharing (open-access and market-driven) to study both equilibrium and
disequilibrium behaviors of networks
- Studies cognitive heterogeneous networks with emphasis on economic
provisioning for resource sharing
- Introduces a framework that addresses the issue of spectrum sharing
across licensed and unlicensed bands aimed for Pareto optimality
Written for students of cognition, communication engineers,
telecommunications professionals, and others, Fundamentals of Cognitive
Radio offers a new generation of ideas and provides a fresh way of
thinking about cognitive techniques in order to improve radio networks.
