Increasing Demand
• Rapid growth in the wireless communications sector, requiring more spectral bandwidth– Increasing number of users– Plethora of new wireless services being offered
• Some applications are bandwidth-intensive
• As a result of this demand, available spectrum under the legacy command-and-control regime is becoming increasingly scarce– Number of licensed transmissions are increasing
within a finite allocated bandwidth– Unlicensed users constrained to a few overloaded
bands

But not in my spectrum!
• Incumbent license holders are very concerned about co-existing transmissions from unlicensed users– Large-scale investments in developing
communication infrastructure around spectrum• Maintain quality-of-service to its paying customers
– Unlicensed users providing competing services (e.g., VoIP) but without the large-scale investment
– Transmissions are a time-varying phenomena … a signal not interfering at one point in time may do so at another

Software-Defined Radios
• Rapid evolution of microelectronics over the past several decades
• Wireless transceivers are becoming more versatile, powerful, and portable
• These advancements have given rise to Software-Defined Radio (SDR) technology– Baseband radio functions can be
entirely implemented in digital logic and software

What is a Cognitive Radio?
“Cognitive radio is an intelligent wireless communication system that is aware of its surrounding environment (i.e., outside world), and uses the methodology of understanding-by-building to learn from the environment and adapt its internal states to statistical variations in the incoming RF stimuli by making corresponding changes in certain operating parameters (e.g., transmit-power, carrier-frequency, and modulation strategy) in real-time, with two primary objectives in mind:
• highly reliable communications whenever and wherever needed;
• efficient utilization of the radio spectrum.”
S. Haykin, “Cognitive Radio: Brain-Empowered Wireless Communications”, IEEE J-SAC, Feb. 2005.

What is a Cognitive Radio?
• An intelligent wireless communications system• Based on SDR technology
– Reconfigurable– Agile Functionality

• Learns from its environment and adapts to new scenarios based on previous experiences

Cognition Framework
• Distinction between reconfigurability and adaptability
• Reconfigurability– Involves choosing radio building blocks– Choice of blocks lasts for relatively long period of
time– Requires “flashing” of programmable logic
• Adaptability– Fine-tunes radio operating parameters– Parameter choices last for a short period of time– Does not require “flashing” of programmable logic

#16 22
AI-Based Adaptation
• Genetic Algorithms (GA)– Biologically-inspired technique used typically for
problems with large parameter spaces– Execution time becomes larger as number of
operational and environmental parameters grows– Does not require much memory to run; requires long
execution time
• Expert Systems– Decisions determined offline and stored in radio
memory– Decision making time is very fast– Interesting trade-off exists between rule base size and
the efficiency of decision

Transmission Approaches for DSA
• Transmission in licensed spectrum classified into three categories– Cooperative Approach
• Primary and secondary users coordinate with each other regarding spectrum usage
– Underlay Approach• Secondary signals transmitted at very low power
spectral density; undetected by primary users• e.g., ultra wideband (UWB)
– Overlay Systems• Secondary signals fill in the spectrum unoccupied
by primary users

Current Spectrum Allocation
• “Command-and-control” Approach– License holders maintain exclusive rights to their
allocated spectrum• Purchased during a spectrum auction, e.g., 3G auctions• Allocated via government decree, e.g., military,
television
– Unlicensed devices not permitted to transmit in licensed bands
• Allocated unlicensed bands (with transmit constraints)– Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) bands
» 900 MHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz– Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band
» 5.15 GHz – 5.825 GHz

Spectrum Sensing
• Required by agile modulation process• Classification of spectrum into either signal or
noise– Recursive One-Sided Hypothesis Testing (ROHT)
recursively performs hypothesis test on the measurement data and classifies a portion of data as signal
– Otsu’s algorithm segments data into 2 classes to achieve maximum separation between classes
– Adaptive thresholding uses a sliding window approach that classifies blocks of data separately and then combine the classification results

#16 45
Channel Sounding
• Need to identify spectrum worth transmitting across– Unoccupied spectrum may be severely attenuated
• Simultaneously, sounding process cannot interfere with signals from primary users– Sounding a large bandwidth with several primary
users requires the power spectral density to be low
• Adapt current sounding techniques to DSA scenario– Swept Time Delay Cross-Correlator (STDCC)
