Cognitive Radio: Interoperability Through Waveform Reconfiguration

This practical resource addresses cognitive radio design from the perspective of interoperability with an emphasis on waveform configuration for increased flexibility and enhanced performance. The book provides readers with extensive coverage of the concept of interoperability, and discusses some of the languages that could potentially be used for exchanging descriptions of waveforms. Contents: Fundamentals of Sampling and Digital Signal Processing; Software-Defined Radio; Cognitive Radio; Interoperability and Reconfiguration; Language Issues in the Context of Cognitive Radio; Component-Based Software Development; Ontology-Based Cognitive Radio Reconfiguration; Case Study of an Example Implementation.
