Summary
Summary
Widely regarded as one of the most promising emerging technologies for driving the future development of wireless communications, cognitive radio has the potential to mitigate the problem of increasing radio spectrum scarcity through dynamic spectrum allocation. Drawing on fundamental elements of information theory, network theory, propagation, optimisation and signal processing, a team of leading experts present a systematic treatment of the core physical and networking principles of cognitive radio and explore key design considerations for the development of new cognitive radio systems. Containing all the underlying principles you need to develop practical applications in cognitive radio, this book is an essential reference for students, researchers and practitioners alike in the field of wireless communications and signal processing.

Choice Review
Biglieri (Pompeu Fabra Univ., Spain; UCLA; King Saud Univ., Saudi Arabia) and fellow academics in the US have written an excellent introductory book on cognitive radio, which is a field of significant technical importance. The term refers to "a radio that is aware of the environment around it and can adapt its transmissions according to the interference it sees." The book consists of five well-written chapters, each by a different author or authors. Each chapter provides good depth concerning a particular topic (basic concepts, capacity, propagation, spectrum sensing, and spectrum exploration/exploitation); taken together, the chapters provide a sufficiently wide scope of the field of cognitive radio. The numerous end-of-chapter references along with the 36-page bibliography will be useful for readers who wish to explore the subject further. Thanks to good editing, there are strong cross-references between chapters. Faculty that consider using the work as a course resource should note the lack of homework-type problems. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. H. P. E. Stern Texas State University-San Marcos
