Cognitive radios (CR) have the ability to dynamically adapt to local spectrum availability. In a network comprised of CR-enabled devices, layer-2 auto-configuration involves deter...
Cognitive radio (CR) techniques improve the spectrum utilization by exploiting temporarily-free frequency bands (i.e., in the time domain). The spectrum utilization can be boosted...
