Funded Activity Summary

Cognitive Radio Technology: Increasing Spectral Efficiency of Wireless Communications. The radio spectrum is an expensive resource and normally requires licensed operation. Cognitive Radio has been proposed as a means of releasing large tracts of unused spectrum without causing interference to other users. It uses a combination of frequency agility and intelligence to identify unused spectrum for transmission. This study will evaluate the performance gains of such a system by developing a spectrum occupancy data base to test a variety of radio access strategies. Cognitive Radio is particularly suited to providing low cost broadband access to remote, rural and city fringe dwellings.
