Quantitative analysis of cognitive radio and network performance

Cognitive radio – a paradigm for wireless communication in which either a network or a wireless node changes its transmission or reception parameters to communicate more efficiently and avoid interference -- is one of the most exciting emerging fields in communications technology. Taking an integrated development approach, this cutting-edge book provides engineers with clear methods forperforming quantitative analysis of cognitive radio techniques in a variety of environments. This detailed reference presents a quantitative structure thathelps practitioners determine the capability of cognitive radio to address a number of constraints of current radio design. Moreover, this unique resource offers unique insight into the application of dynamic spectrum access (DSA) toimprove the performance of all classes of wireless devices. DVD Included! Contains sample cognitive radio environments in MATLAB file format. This data enables practitioners to reproduce the analysis provided in the book and perform the exercises in each chapter.
