In a cycle of sensing, learning, and adapting, cognitive radio can jump between channels according to temporal and spatial opportunities and so, at least in the near term, alleviate congestion in the scarce spectrum. Here electrical engineers present advanced research results into cognitive networks that combine network architectural design with the necessary technical modifications to deliver high quality services. The instruction manual provides practicing engineers with immediate solutions that incorporate new concepts and techniques. Among the topics are the iterative optimization of energy detector sensing time and periodic sensing interval, a novel spectrum sensing scheduling algorithm, and the secondary use of radio spectrum by high altitude platforms.
