About the event
The expected trend by users for ubiquitous, wide-band communications services may increase the demand for radio spectrum access. Most of todays radio systems, however, are not aware of their radio spectrum environment: they are designed to operate in a specific frequency band using a specific spectrum access system. Investigations of spectrum utilization also regularly appear to suggest that not all the spectrum is in use all of the time. A radio, therefore, that can sense and understand its local radio spectrum environment, to identify temporarily vacant spectrum, has the potential to provide future high bandwidth services, increase spectrum efficiency and minimize centralized spectrum management. This dynamic spectrum access could be achieved by a radio that can make autonomous (and rapid) decisions about how it accesses spectrum. Cognitive radios have the potential to do this.
Topics include:
- Cognitive radio definitions what are they
- Regulatory regime and potential applications for Cognitive Radios
- Work in standards bodies related to Cognitive Radios
· Technical advances that will enable Cognitive Radio devices
