SUMMARY:Research Challenges in Cognitive Radio Networks - Vijay Bhargava\,

DESCRIPTION:The cognitive radio technology will allow a group of potential
  users to identify and access available spectrum resources provided that t
 he interference to users for whom the band has been licensed is kept below
  a prescribed level.  This research area is at an nascent stage because va
 rious research challenges have to be addressed and solved.  In this talk w
 e present an overview of some research issues for cognitive radio networks
 .  Specifically\, we present research and developments in cognitive radio 
 networks done at the University of British Columbia on: i) spectrum sensin
 g\, ii) link adaptation\, iii) advanced transceiver design\, and iv) admis
 sion control.  We discuss research problems related to these specific topi
 cs that need to be addressed before deployment of cognitive radio systems.
