Cooperative Cognitive Radio Networks

Cooperative Cognitive Radio Networks: The Complete Spectrum Cycle provides a solid understanding of the foundations of cognitive radio technology, from spectrum sensing, access, and handoff to routing, trading, and security. Written in a tutorial style with several illustrative examples, this comprehensive bookGives an overview of cognitive radio systems and explains the different components of the spectrum cycleFeatures step-by-step analyses of the different algorithms and systems, supported by extensive computer simulations, figures, tables, and referencesFulfills the need for a single source of information on all aspects of the spectrum cycle, including the physical, link, medium access, network, and application layersOffering a unifying view of the various approaches and methodologies,Cooperative Cognitive Radio Networks: The Complete Spectrum Cycle &ltpresents the state of the art of cognitive radio technology, addressing all phases of the spectrum access cycle.
