Cooperative Communication in 5G Cognitive Radio Systems

Cognitive radio is an intelligent radio which adapts the transmission parameters based on the sensed vacant spectrum. To reduce channel fading effects, cooperative communication is incorporated in the cognitive radio network. This book gives the overview of cognitive radio technology, the importance of cooperative communication in the different 5G application such as heterogeneous network, machine-to-machine communication, smart grid communication, millimeter wave communication and vehicular ad-hoc network.
