Cognitive Radio: Basic Concepts, Mathematical Modeling and Applications

Globally considered as one of the key technologies in the field of wireless communications, cognitive radio has the capability to solve the issues related to radio spectrum scarcity with the help of dynamic spectrum allocation.

It discusses topics including software defined radio architecture, linear predictive coding, variance fractal compression, optimal Codec design for mobile communication system, digital modulation techniques, spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing in depth. The text is primarily written for senior undergraduate and graduate students, in learning experimental techniques, designing and implementing models in the field wireless communication.
