INTRODUCTION
The radio spectrum, which is needed for
Wireless Communication is a naturally
limited resource & day by day is crowded
due to increase in wireless devices and
applications. Cognitive Networks are
motivated by the apparent lack of spectrum
under the current Spectrum Management
policies. The right to use the wireless
spectrum in US controlled by Federal
Communication Commission (FCC). Some
wireless devices use the licensed band while
the others use the unlicensed band. These
unlicensed bands are used by Bluetooth, 3G,
COGNITIVE RADIO
Joseph Mitola at the Defense Advanced
Research Project Agency (DARPA)
developed the idea for CR. Cognitive Radio
is a form of wireless communication in
which a transceiver intelligently detect the
communication channels that are in use and
which are not, and instantly move into
vacant channels while avoiding occupied
ones. This in return optimizes the use of
available radio frequency (RF) spectrum
while minimizing the interference to the
other users.
In its most basic form, CR is a hybrid
technology involving Software Defined
radio (SDR) as applied to spread spectrum
communications. The functions of cognitive
radio include the ability of transceiver to
determine its geographic location, identify
and authorize its user, sense neighboring
wireless devices in operation and adjust the
output
power
and
modulation
characteristics. There are two main types of
cognitive radio, full cognitive radio that
takes into account all parameters that a
wireless network can be aware of and the
other spectrum- sensing cognitive radio to
detect channels in the radio frequency
spectrum.
b) reconfigurability- CR is programmed to
transmit and receive on a variety of
frequencies and use different access
technologies supported by its hardware
design.
