Comprehending Cognitive Radios [Book\Software Reviews]

This book provides an excellent overview of all aspects of cognitive radio. While the book draws most of its examples from work done at Virginia Tech, the scope of the book is comprehensive. Its eight chapters lead readers from the basic definition of a cognitive radio through cognitive radio hardware and software and finally into the performance evaluation and application of a cognitive radio. This book is primarily for practicing engineers and managers, as it surveys the broad area of cognitive radio and includes a substantial reference list for further research. For anyone interested in radio design, this book has much to recommend.
