Evolution of spectrum-agile cognitive radios: first wireless internet standard and beyond

Published: 02 August 2006 Publication History

Abstract

Spectrum agile radios, also known as cognitive radios, have received much attention from researchers recently. Although the promise of cognitive radios in terms of increased access to spectrum was widely recognized very early, specific applications that utilize cognitive radio techniques have only recently began to develop.
In this paper we briefly describe the first wireless Internet standard that is based on Cognitive Radio techniques, namely IEEE 802.22, and discuss its performance with respect to one aspect of cognitive radios, namely operation over multiple frequency channels.
Furthermore, we discuss the evolution of cognitive radios beyond IEEE 802.22 by identifying some of the key factors that affect it, which in turn guide our research in cognitive radio PHY and MAC design.
