Cognitive Wireless Networks: Concepts, Methodologies and Visions Inspiring the Age of Enlightenment

This book advocates the idea of breaking up the cellular communication architecture by introducing cooperative strategies among wireless devices through cognitive wireless networking. It is divided into different parts dealing with cooperative and cognitive aspects for future wireless communication networks. Chapters written by world leading researchers in the field cover, among others, social and biological inspired behavior applied to wireless networks, peer-to-peer networking, cognitive radio or more generally cognitive networks, cooperative networks, game theory, spectrum sensing and management. In addition, tools and methodologies for modeling and analyzing cooperative and cognitive interactions in wireless networks are explained in detail to facilitate access to this advanced research topic.
