Defining Cognitive Radio

The chapter discusses the history and definitions of cognitive radio. Cognitive radio aims to improve spectrum utilization by having wireless devices detect unused portions of licensed spectrum and transmit without interfering with licensed users. The concept of cognitive radio emerged from earlier technologies like software-defined radio and sharing of radio frequencies. However, there is no universally agreed-upon definition, as different organizations and researchers have put forth varying definitions that emphasize spectrum efficiency, user needs, intelligence, or other aspects.

Popularity of cognitive radio

Can you find out what are these numbers now?

History
Maritime communication developed in early 1920s. FCC allowed (1960) shared channels in land mobile communication with LBT. CB: FCC allowed (1970s) shared channels at 27MHz band. FCC Rule Part 15 (1985 approved), described the ways of coexistence of low power wireless devices in Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band.

Depicting the history of cognitive radio

Cognitive Radio Communications and Networks: Principles and Practice By A. M. Wyglinski, M. Nekovee, Y. T. Hou (Elsevier, December 2009)

Future ?
Intelligent systems. Higher computational capability. More flexibility. Harvesting more and more radio spectrum (reusing them temporally and spatially). Digital dividend. More standards to come.
Cognitive Radio Communications and Networks: Principles and Practice By A. M. Wyglinski, M. Nekovee, Y. T. Hou (Elsevier, December 2009)

Definitions(1)
Mitola: wireless personal digital assistants and the related networks were sufficiently computationally intelligent about radio resources, to detect user needs as a function of use context, and to provide radio resources and wireless services most appropriate to those needs"
How a SDR can become a CR with this definition?
Cognitive Radio Communications and Networks: Principles and Practice By A. M. Wyglinski, M. Nekovee, Y. T. Hou (Elsevier, December 2009)

Definitions(2)
Haykin: inclusive of SDR, [idea] to promote efficient use of spectrum by exploiting the existence of spectrum holes OR intelligent wireless communication system (...) that adapt(s) to statistical variations in the input stimuli which are highly reliable communication (...); efficient utilization of radio spectrum."
An efficient (re)use of spectrum is in itself CR ?
