ABSTRACT
The growing number of new emerging wireless standards is creating regulatory problems in allocating the unlicensed frequencies. A possible solution for increasing the frequency reusage within the framework of info-mobility cellular systems is the joint exploitation of Smart Antennas and Cognitive Radio. Inside this framework a key-role is played by Mode Identification and Spectrum monitoring algorithms, useful to provide awareness about the channel conditions. In the paper a Mode Identification algorithm, based on the extraction of higher order statistics from frequency distribution of the involved communication modalities and multiple support vector machine classifiers, for a Cognitive Base Transceiver Station is presented. Simulated results, obtained in a simplified framework, will prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
