Cognitive Radio
A cognitive radio (CR) is a software defined radio (SDR) that is capable of :
Cognitive Networks
Thomas, Da Silva and MacKenzie define a cognitive network as a network with a cognitive process that can perceive current network conditions, plan, decide, act on those conditions, learn from the consequences of its actions, all while following end-to-end goals. This loop, the cognition loop, senses the environment, plans actions according to input from sensors and network policies, decides which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose using a reasoning engine, and finally acts on the chosen scenario as discussed in the previous section. The system learns from the past (situations, plans, decisions, actions) and uses this knowledge to improve the decisions in the future.

A cognitive radio (CR) is a software defined radio (SDR) that is capable of :
- sensing its environment and drawing conclusions from the sensed information,
- adapting its physical layer parameters,
- optimizing over the use of the radio resources, and
- performing basic reasoning and learning by using artificial intelligence techniques.
