Preface

The radio spectrum is one of the most precious resources which must be managed to ensure efficient access for the wireless communication services which use it. The allocation and management of spectrum are administered by the regulatory authorities. Traditionally, spectrum allocation is carried out exclusively of its use in large geographic areas and assigning frequency bands to specific users or service providers is proved to be inefficient. Recently, substantial knowledge about dynamic spectrum access scheme has been accumulated to enable efficient spectrum sharing. The cognitive radio based on dynamic spectrum access has emerged as a new technology to enhance the efficiency of spectrum usage. The key characteristics of cognitive radio system is to sense their environment and dynamically adapt their transmission parameters (e.g., modulation waveform, channel access method, spectrum use, and networking protocol) as needed for reliable communication and efficient utilization of radio spectrum. The main objective of this book is to treat some of the core functionalities related to cognitive radios a
