Cognitive Radio (CR) has emerged as a very promising solution to mitigate the scarcity in electromagnetic spectrum for wireless communication. CR promises to maximize the efficiency of spectrum utilization by seeking out spectral vacancies (holes) in the licensed band and using it for communication...
