Cognitive Radio Technology (CRT)

Cognitive Radio Technology (CRT)

What is CRT?

CRT is an intelligent radio technology which will detect unused spectrums/channels in the current spectrum range. It’s an exciting and new way of thinking and researching about wireless technologies. 
Why CRT is important?
Example when you take FM radio spectrum, only some channels such as 93.4MHz or 99.8MHz is used, all other frequency range is unused. These frequency channels can be used for transmission. The unused spectrum is mentioned as “Spectrum Holes”.

In this technology transceiver works as a smart/intelligent device which detects what spectrum are in use and what spectrum is not in use. This optimizes the use of available radio-frequency (RF) spectrum. It’s a radio that can change its transmitter parameters based on interaction with the environment in which it operates. If some spectrum is not used, CRT enables to use that spectrum efficiently.

There are two main types of cognitive radio, full cognitive radio and spectrum-sensing cognitive radio. Full cognitive radio considers all parameters that a wireless node or network can be aware of. Spectrum-sensing cognitive radio is used to detect channels in the radio frequency spectrum.

Below mentioned are the functions of cognitive radio.
These are four main steps in CRT i.e. Spectrum sensing, Spectrum management, Spectrum mobility and Spectrum sharing.

Thank you for reading this article, I will be sharing more information on CRT in upcoming articles.

Introduction to IoT ecosystem

Basics of IoT IoT (Internet of Things) refers to a network where devices communicate to devices and devices communicate to software applications over the internet . This web-enabled devices/internet enabled devices will usually collect data, send and act upon data from their surrounding environment. •       The IoT network consists of Edge side (sensors, actuators and controllers connected to the internet) and Cloud side. •       The devices on the Edge side can either connect to the internet directly or using an Edge (IoT) gateway . The Edge gateway is used for: •        Providing a connection to the internet for devices that cannot connect to the internet on their own. These devices don’t have feature to connect to the Internet. •        Local functionality/control that must work even without internet availability •       ...

Introduction to Modelling and Simulation

What is about Today?    Modeling & simulation is use of the physical, mathematical or logical representation of a system , entity or process and these models  reduces the development time and cost of the system and it optimizes the design.  Simulation is the imitation of the real-world process or system. To simulate something, it requires a model to be developed, and these model represents the key characteristics, behaviors and functions of the selected system or process.Modelling an act of building a model and Simulation is act of using a model. Simulation software is based on the process of modeling a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas.  Advantages: Allows to understand how the system operates in real-time system in virtual environment. Easy to make changes in to the system and their effect on the output. Can determine the system requirements by applying different configurations. Performing bottleneck analysi...

Introduction to Deep Learning

Deep Learning is a type of machine learning in which a model learns to perform classification tasks directly from images, text or sound. Its usually implemented using a neural network architecture. Here deep refers to the "Number of layers in the network" i.e the more layers, the deeper the network. Traditional neural network contain only 2-3 layers, but in deep network contains hundreds of layers. Deep learning example is  A self-driving vehicle slows down as it approaches a pedestrian network . Deep learning is especially well-suited to identification applications such as face recognition, text translation, voice recognition and advanced driver assistance systems and traffic sign recognition etc. Deep learning is growing faster because it really works.  What is the Difference Between Deep Learning  and Machine Learning? Deep learning is a sub-type of machine learning. For example with machine  learning, you manually extract the relevant features of...
