Description
This book gives comprehensive and balanced coverage of the principles of cognitive radio communications, cognitive networks, and details
of their implementation, including the latest developments in the standards and spectrum policy. Case studies, end-of-chapter questions,
and descriptions of various platforms and test beds, together with sample code, give hands-on knowledge of how cognitive radio systems
can be implemented in practice. Extensive treatment is given to several standards, including IEEE 802.22 for TV White Spaces and IEEE
SCC41.
Written by leading people in the field, both at universities and major industrial research laboratories, this tutorial
text gives communications engineers, R&D engineers, researchers, undergraduate and post graduate students a complete reference on
the application of wireless communications and network theory for the design and implementation of cognitive radio systems and networks.
- Each chapter is written by internationally renowned experts, giving complete and balanced treatment of the fundamentals
of both cognitive radio communications and cognitive networks, together with implementation details
- Extensive treatment of the
latest standards and spectrum policy developments enables the development of compliant cognitive systems
- Strong practical orientation
- through case studies and descriptions of cognitive radio platforms and testbeds - shows how "real world" cognitive radio systems and
network architectures have been built
- Additional materials, slides, solutions to end-of-chapter problems, and sample codes,
are available at www.elsevierdirect.com/companions
