IEEE Spectrum: "Radio Gets Smart" by R. Rubenstein.
[...] New radio technologies keep coming along—Wi-Fi, WiMax, Bluetooth, ZigBee, the growing panoply of cellular voice and digital services, broadcast satellite, and more. Each requires unique hardware appropriate to its special way of sending and receiving radio waves. [...]Wikipedia: Cognitive Radio
Cognitive radio is a paradigm for wireless communication in which either a network or a wireless node changes its transmission or reception parameters to communicate efficiently avoiding interference with licensed or unlicensed users. [...]
Hardware and software test beds
Open source: GNU Radio
GNU Radio is a free software development toolkit that provides the signal processing runtime and processing blocks to implement software radios using readily-available, low-cost external RF hardware and commodity processors [...]Wireless @ Virginia Tech: CROSS (based on GNU Radio for now)
The objective of the design is to develop a distributed & modular system that provides portability and interoperability between components developed in different programming languages, across different SDR and hardware platforms.[...]Berkeley Wireless Research Center: Prototyping platform
As a part of our research we present a testbed that will allow us to experiment with sensing algorithms and to demonstrate a working prototype of an indoor Cognitive Radio network. The testbed is based on the BEE2, a multi-FPGA emulation engine which is capable of connecting to 18 radio front-ends[...]Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis: SEAMCAT
This software tool based on the Monte-Carlo simulation method, permits statistical modelling of different radio interference scenarios for performing sharing and compatibility studies between radiocommunications systems in the same or adjacent frequency bands. [...]
The Wireless Innovation Forum: Software Defined Radio (SDR) forum
Members bring a broad base of experience in Software Defined Radio (SDR), Cognitive Radio(CR) and Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) technologies in diverse [...]Darpa: The Next Generation (XG) Program
The Next Generation (XG) program goals are to develop both the enabling technologies and system concepts to dynamically redistribute allocated spectrum along with novel waveforms in order to provide dramatic improvements in [...]
FCC: Cognitive Radio Technologies Proceeding (CRTP)
The Commission has issued a Notice of Public Rulemaking regarding service rules for advanced wireless services (cognitive radio technologies). These technologies can enable a radio device and its antenna to adapt its spectrum [...]European Communications Office: European activities on Cognitive Radio and Software Defined radio systems
