A Predictive Model for Cognitive Radio

Such a model is needed to optimize performance in a software-defined radio.

A computational model that predicts effects of changing operational parameters of a cognitive radio has been developed as part of continuing research on cognitive / software - defined radio (C/SDR) data-communication networks. The term “cognitive radio,” “software-defined radio,” or “smart radio” denotes a radio transmitter, receiver, or transceiver, (1) much of the functionality of which is implemented in software and (2) that is able to reason about its configuration on the basis of requirements and its environment.
