Cognitive Wireless Radio Systems

Overview

The objective of this project is to develop a framework for facilitating green spectrum for cognitive radio protocols in wireless networks. The project aims at identifying the energy hungry components, spectrum activity, user mobility, user access patterns, spectrum sensing intervals, and spectrum interference levels. Also, proposing energy efficient secondary user scheduling in cognition, where user access decision is done based on interference measurements, user locations, and user eligibility. Finally, develop CogWnet, which is a software framework to manage cognitive radio functionality and provide optimal parameters configuration for wireless channel. The Framework is based on cross-layer design to collect sensory information from all layers in TCP/IP stack along with application QoS requirements. CogWnet will act as an implementation framework for our green cognition techniques
