Distributed Optimization of Local Area Networks

An important task of a cognitive radio is to learn and calibrate its behavior in the environment. How to achieve this efficiently is illustrated in this chapter for IEEE 802.11 networks that aim at minimizing the co-channel interference in a distributed way.
