Cognitive radio (CR) techniques improve the spectrum utilization by exploiting temporarily-free frequency bands (i.e., in the time domain). The spectrum utilization can be boosted...
Abstract— According to the cognitive radio paradigm, a terminal or subsystem will opportunistically select a frequency band for data transmission. Because the spectrum is shared,...
Throughput maximization is a key challenge in cognitive radio ad hoc networks, where the availability of local spectrum resources may change from time to time and hopby-hop. To ach...

Spectrum sensing is the key enabling technology for cognitive radio networks. The main objective of spectrum sensing is to provide more spectrum access opportunities to cognitive r...
—Research in cognitive radios has renewed interest in tools, such as spectrum estimation and modulation identification, to characterize the radio frequency (RF) environment. The...
