Cognitive Radio Communications and Networks: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)

This book gives comprehensive and balanced coverage of the principles of cognitive radio communications, cognitive networks and details of their implementation, including the latest developments in the standards and spectrum policy. Case studies and descriptions of platforms and test beds, together with sample code, give 'hands on' knowledge of how cognitive radio systems can be implemented. Extensive treatment is given to the IEEE standards 802.22 and the integration of cognitive radio into WIMAX through the 802.16h standard.

Written by leading people in the field, both at universities and major industrial research laboratories, this book gives communications engineers, R&D engineers, researchers and graduate students a complete reference on the application of wireless communications and network theory to the design and implementation of cognitive radio systems and networks.

* Suitable for the engineer with none or little understanding of the area, it gives a step-by-step guide to cognitive radio technology and cognitive radio techniques from the leading people in the field
* Strong practical orientation with chapters on platforms and testbeds together with case studies and sample code - with this book engineers have the resources to build cognitive radio systems.
* Guidance on the latest standards and spectrum policy - key information in developing products that are compliant to the standards
