Cognitive Radio Technology

The main goal of this book is to provide highlights of current research topics in the field of Cognitive radio (CR)-based systems. The book consists of chapters focusing on primary and secondary users, spectrum sensing, spectrum sharing, CR-based IoT, emulation attack, and interference alignment.

This SpringerBrief provides a comprehensive study of the unique security threats to cognitive radio (CR) networks and a systematic investigation of the state-of-the-art in the corresponding adversary detection problems. In addition, detailed discussions of the underlying fundamental analytical tools and engineering methodologies of these adversary detection techniques are provided, considering that many of them are quite general and have been widely employed in many other related fields.

This book presents cutting-edge research contributions that address various aspects of network design, optimization, implementation, and application of cognitive radio technologies.

This book provides holistic yet concise information on what modern cognitive radio networks are, how they work, and the possible future directions for them. The authors first present the most generic models of modern cognitive radio networks while taking their different architectural designs and classifications into consideration.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks, CROWNCOM 2017, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in September 2017.
