Cognitive Radio According to Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) the cognitive radio is a radio transmitter/receiver that is designed to intelligently detect whether a particular segment of the radio spectrum is currently in use, and to jump into (or out of) the temporarily-unused spectrum very rapidly, without interfering with the transmissions of other users 2006 DEI Politecnico di Milano - 12 - Handimatica 2006, Bologna, 1 Dicembre 2006
