Abstract

Cognitive radio (CR) was once considered as a breakthrough technique to reform the field of wireless communication characterized by great spectrum efficiency enhancement. However, for more than a decade years, this technology has been dwelling in the academia without being able to put expertise to good use in industry. The ultimate reason for this phenomenon is the pervasive idea to consider the cognitive radio network (CRN) as an add-on for existing wireless communication systems, an inevitable result caused by CRN related prescriptions made by FCC. This paper analyzes why such an add-on mode for CRN is hard to be accepted by incumbent wireless communication systems from various perspectives. Meanwhile, we analyze feasibility to operate CRNs integrating with incumbent wireless communication systems from both technical and economic perspectives.
