The requirements and key areas for 5G are gradually becoming more apparent, and it is
becoming clear that 5G will need to be able to deal with increased levels of diversity in both …

Facing the challenges on how to improve spectrum efficiency and how to realize
heterogeneous network convergence in future wireless networks, a cognitive radio network …

Resource allocation plays a key role in cooperative cognitive radio networks (CCRNs),
which is influenced by channel capacity, user density, transmission capacity, and user …

This work proposes the concept and reports the implementation of an adaptive and cognitive
radio over fiber architecture. It is aimed at dealing with the new demands for convergent …

We present a framework of cognitive network management by means of an autonomic
reconfiguration scheme. We propose a network architecture that enables intelligent services …

This paper illustrates a Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP)-based real-time
testbed that is able to evaluate different spectrum management solutions that exploit the …

In order to increase CRs (Cognitive Radios) operation efficiency, there has been an interest
in increasing awareness level about spectrum utilisation. In this respect, this paper proposes …

In the era of wireless communications, Beyond the 3rd Generation (B3G), a network operator
(NO) should satisfy numerous requirements, namely, personalisation, context awareness …

Network evolution towards self-aware autonomous adaptive networking attempts to
overcome the inefficiency of configuring and managing networks, which leads to …

In order to increase Cognitive Radio operation efficiency, this paper builds up a new
knowledge management functional architecture for supporting spectrum management. It …
