About this book

This book, written by experts from universities and major industrial research laboratories, is devoted to the very hot topic of cognitive radio and networking for cooperative coexistence of heterogeneous wireless networks. Selected highly relevant advanced research is presented on spectrum sensing and progress toward the realization of accurate radio environment mapping, biomimetic learning for self-organizing networks, security threats (with a special focus on primary user emulation attack), and cognition as a tool for green next-generation networks. The research activities covered include work undertaken within the framework of the European COST Action IC0902, which is geared towards the definition of a European platform for cognitive radio and networks. Communications engineers, R&D engineers, researchers, and students will all benefit from this complete reference on recent advances in wireless communications and the design and implementation of cognitive radio systems and networks.

Reviews

From the book reviews:

“Fifteen carefully selected interrelated papers are knit together to provide a holistic solution to the issue, covering security aspects as well. … The book would be highly beneficial as a reference for research institutions and individuals working with cognitive radio communication networks or allied areas.” (C. K. Raju, Computing Reviews, July, 2014)

About the editors

Maria-Gabriella Di Benedetto is Full Professor of Telecommunications at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. Since 2000, she has been active in fostering the development of ultra-wide-band (UWB) radio communications in Europe and has participated in several pioneering EU projects on UWB communications. Her main research focus in the past decade has been on medium access control and management in wireless networks, as well as energy-efficient routing and location-based optimization of medium access control and routing functions.

Faouzi Bader is Senior Research Associate at the École Supérieure d'Électricité (SUPELEC) in Rennes, France. His research activities mainly focus on advanced multicarrier waveforms for future communication systems, professional mobile radio/public protection and disaster relief and beyond, cross-layer system design, cognitive radio resource management and spectrum sharing, and system coexistence.
