How can cognitive radio networks cope with dynamic and heterogeneous wireless environments?
Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) are wireless systems that can adapt to changing and diverse radio environments by sensing and utilizing the available spectrum resources. CRNs have the potential to improve the efficiency and performance of wireless communications, especially in scenarios where the spectrum demand is high and the spectrum availability is scarce. However, CRNs also face several challenges, such as spectrum sensing, spectrum access, spectrum sharing, and spectrum management. In this article, we will explore how CRNs can cope with dynamic and heterogeneous wireless environments by using some of the latest techniques and technologies.
