Intelligence in Wireless Networks with Cognitive Radio Networks!
Satwant Kaur · IETE Technical Review · 2013
AbstractWorldwide regulatory agencies have observed that most of the radio frequency spectrum is inefficiently utilized. For example, cellular network frequency bands are over-loaded and paging frequency bands are under-loaded. Hence, there is a great need for intelligence in radio networks that can use spectrum band more efficiently. In this column “Pushing Frontiers with the First Lady of Emerging Technologies”, Dr. Satwant Kaur explains how her vision of cognitive wireless networks fulfills that need of additional wireless spectrum. She discusses some key techniques used for efficient networking with cognitive radio communications, which uses cognition to determine areas of improvements in frequency spectrum usage, take actions to actuate that, and hence utilize wireless frequency spectrum more efficiently.
