| | |  | Wireless Security | Home » » Cognitive Radio Technology (Communications Engineering) | | | | | | | Description: | | Cognitive radio technology is a smarter, faster, and more efficient way to transmit information to and from fixed, mobile, other wireless communication devices. Cognitive radio builds upon software-defined radio technology. A cognitive radio system is 'aware' of its operating environment and automatically adjusts itself to maintain desired communications-it's like having a trained operator 'inside' the radio making constant adjustments for maximum performance. Operating frequency, power output, antenna orientation/beamwidth, modulation, and transmitter bandwidth are just a few of the operating parameters that can automatically be adjusted "on the fly” in a cognitive radio system.
Fette has constructed a cutting-edge volume that hits all of the important issues including research, management, and support. Cognitive techniques will be discussed such as position and network awareness, infrastructure and physical and link layer concerns. Though still a nascent technology, cognitive radio is being pushed by the US military and for mission-critical civilian communications (such as emergency and public safety services).
*The first book on a revolutionary technology that will be critical to military, emergency, and public safety communications
*A multi-contributed volume written by the leaders in this exciting new area
*Describes the location-determination capabilities of cognitive radio (the precise location of all units in a cognitive radio network can be determined in real time) | | | Product Details: | | | Hardcover:

An excellent reference to Cognitive RadioDec 11, 2008
By Peter G. Cook
The meaning of "Software Defined Radio" is well established, and the technology is becoming mature. "Cognitive Radio" (CR), on the other hand has been applied to a wide range of functions and applications, some of which have little relationship to radio frequency apparatus. This book provides a comprehensive description of a wide range of topics subsumed by CR.
In his book, Bruce Fette presents articles in fourteen chapters, bookended by chapters 1 and 16 of his own, to the stage for discussion of the state of the art and look into the future. The presentations cover the technology from the high-level construct of Radio Environment Map to deep math in analyzing CR performance.
As the sections do not build on each other, the book is an excellent reference resource. It is not like a text that requires indepth understanding of early material to use later information. The extensive index facilitates finding information on specific topics.
As a long-term participant in the Software Defined Radio Forum, I say with confidence that practitioners in a broad range of communications technology will find this book an useful reference

An Excellent Introduction to the New Ways in Radio CommunicationsJan 05, 2007
By Javaid Iqbal Zahid
It is a great pleasure and honor to write the review for the book by Fette. I am a communication engineer who practiced and taught communication systems for the last 34 years. It is heartening to see the progress in radio communication as this has changed the life style of people at large. From analog to digital to programmable to software defined and now to intelligent (cognitive) radio design we are feeling the future changes as to how people might use the radio technologies in the next 25 years. By studing this book from Fette one can easily guess where radio technologies will be heading. This book, and "Cognitive Radio Architecture" by J. Mitola, have come almost at the same time. While this book provides a general and more technological overview of various aspects of Cognitive radio, the book by J. Mitola gives specific architectural overview of the future radio. I feel both the books are must for those interested in studying and researching in the field of Radio Design both for commercial and military applications. My conclusion is that for Fifth Generation Cellular Radio these are the books to start with. Complimented by the research Articles (e.g. IEEE papaers) one can correctly find the way to radio development. I first congratulate Joseph Mitola for providing the lead in Software Defined/Cognitive radio concepts, and then appreciate the writer Fette for providing an excellent description of Cognitive radio with provision of connection to Software Defoined radio.
I am prticularly interested in Learning Strategies which modify the knowledgebase for making good decision to provide desired QoS in mobile communication systems (environment).
My congratualtions to both J. Mitola and Fette as they have given us the timely information on the subject.
Thank you.
