Decision Making Techniques for Cognitive Radios

Electromagnetic radiation (EM), the disturbance in space that propagates by itself in the space has both electric and magnetic field components that oscillate in perpendicular to each other in phase and to the direction of energy. Spectrum scarcity is one of the biggest challenges that the modern world is facing. The efficient use of available licensed spectrum is becoming more and more critical with increasing demand and usage of the radio spectrum. Different researches show that the usage is not uniform throughout the licensed spectrum rather it is heavy in certain parts of the spectrum and has portions that are utilized inefficiently. Some researchers even claim that more than 70% of the licensed frequency band is not in use, most of the time…
