Cognitive Communications: Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI), Regulatory Policy and Economics, Implementation

This book provides an overview of cognitive communications as a whole, encompassing both cognitive radio and cognitive networks, and application areas such as cognitive acoustics Cognitive Communications Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI), Regulatory Policy & Economics, Implementation presents an overview of cognitive communications, encompassing both cognitive radio and cognitive networks, and also other application areas such as cognitive acoustics. The book also explains the specific rationale for the integration of different forms of distributed artificial intelligence into cognitive communications, something which is often neglected in many forms of technical contributions available today. Furthermore, the chapters are divided into four disciplines: wireless communications, distributed artificial intelligence, regulatory policy and economics and implementation. The book contains contributions from leading experts (academia and industry) in the field. Ultimately, this book will provide an insight into the advances in cognitive communications, which will be useful for researchers in both industry and academia.* Covers the broader field of cognitive communications as a whole, addressing application to communication systems in general (e.g. cognitive acoustics and Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) * Illustrates how different DAI based techniques can be used to self-organise the radio spectrum * Explores the regulatory, policy and economic issues of cognitive communications in the context of secondary spectrum access* Discusses application and implementation of cognitive communications techniques in different application areas (e.g. Cognitive Femtocell Networks (CFN) * Written by experts in the field from both academia and industry
