Cognitive Radio Technology and Cooperative spectrum sensing

Cognitive Radio

Cognitive radio is a smart radio that empowers to program and configure dynamically. The wireless spectrum which is flooded by data through various channels can be effectively utilized by this technology. This phenomenal concept was first proposed and officially published by Joseph Mitola in 1999. Numerous researches across the world have laid foundation to explore the advantages of using cognitive radio.


This IEEE 802.22 concept could bring a remarkable efficiency and enhanced performance while using the wireless spectrum. Wireless spectrum is one of the most valuable resource from nature which needs to be used efficiently to avoid wastage. Electromagnetic radiation and frequency bands unlocked the possibility of high quality and affordable wireless communication across the globe.




Spectrum Sharing

By Sharing the spectrum from unused bands will benefit both the sharers.
(i) Profit can be made by selling unused spectrum.
(ii) The quality of communication is improved by uninterrupted spectrum facility.


How it works?

Based on the environment, cognitive radio is capable of changing it's reception and transmission parameters. Thus allowing dynamic spectrum management and exploits the locally unused spectrum by validated access.


Advantages of using Cognitive Radio:

* Paves way for uninterrupted and reliable wireless communication irrespective of the users beloging to various networks.

* Efficient utilization of Electromagnetic radio spectrum.

* Minimizing the false alarm

* Cost effectiveness
