A cognitive radio is a transceiver which is aware of its environment, its own technical capabilities and limitations and those of the radios with which it may communicate. It is capable of acting on that awareness and past experience to configure itself in a way that optimises its performance and is capable of learning from experience. In a real sense, a cognitive radio is an intelligent communications system that designs and redesigns itself in real time.

Cognitive Radio Engineering is both essential reading and a reference book about cognitive radio architecture and implementation, intended for readers who want to design and build working cognitive radios. It takes the reader from conceptual block diagrams through the design and evaluation of illustrative prototypes. An important goal is to bridge the divide between radio engineers, who often have little experience with the computational resource and timing issues inherent in cognitive radios, and computer engineers who often are unaware of RF issues such as dynamic range, intermodulation products, and acquisition time.

After treating RF subsystems, the book considers computational platforms and computation issues in cognitive radios, followed by system integration, evaluation methods for cognitive radio, and cognitive radio design for networking. The book concludes with coverage of cognitive radio applications in communications.

Topics covered include;

Cognitive Engine Design
Platforms for Cognitive Radio
Cognitive Radio Computation and Computational Platforms
Integrating and Programming Rf and Computational Platforms for Cognitive Radio
Cognitive Radio Evaluation
Cognitive Radio Design for Networking
Cognitive Radio Applications
