Cognitive Radio, Spectrum and Radio Resource Management

The innovative communications services and applications imposed by ever increasing customer demands render necessary the development of efficient radio resource exploitation mechanisms and intelligent network planning methods. The whole process of planning and managing a reconfigurable network must be reconsidered, in order to live up to the expectations created by the migration towards a new era of communications. This White Paper deals with such issues, emphasizing the role of new engineering technologies in reconfigurable networks. For this purpose, it presents the respective Radio Resource Management, i.e. Spectrum Management and Joint Radio Resource Management, and Network Planning technical approaches, aiming at their application in next generation wireless access infrastructures.
