Abstract

Cognitive radio networking is foreseen as the future of wireless communication networks. Instead of operating in a predefined frequency band, cognitive wireless terminals can fully or partially use any available spectrum bands as long as their transmissions do not degrade the performance of the legitimate users which are licensed to operate in such bands. The principles of cognitive radio networking were laid by Mitola in his seminal work (Cognitive radio: An integrated agent architecture for software defined radio (2000); Cognitive radio for flexible mobile multimedia communication (1999)). In (Cognitive radio: An integrated agent architecture for software defined radio (2000); Cognitive radio for flexible mobile multimedia communication (1999)), Mitola also defined the fundamental requirements of the key enabling technology of such spectrum-aware networks: the cognitive radio. In this chapter, we give the necessary background discussion of the main concepts of CRNs that distinguish them from traditional wireless communication networks. We also overview the guidelines laid by the regulatory organizations to govern the deployment of such networks in parallel with the primary networks licensed to operate over certain frequency bands. Finally, we briefly discuss the CRN applications that can benefit from the research presented in this book.
