In this conceptual paper, we discuss the concept of hospital of the future (HoF) and the
requirements for its wireless connectivity. The HoF will be mostly wireless, connecting …

Cognitive radio network (CRNs) with energy harvesting approach to identify unused
spectrum bands and utilize them opportunistically is observed as an evolving technology to …

Visible light communication (VLC) is a new paradigm that could revolutionise the future of
wireless communication. In VLC, information is transmitted through modulating the visible …

It is crucial to design new communication technologies to surmount the setbacks in RF
communication systems. A suitable energy-efficiency scheme helps evade needless energy …

Cognitive radio has been widely considered as one of the prominent solutions to tackle the
spectrum scarcity. While the majority of existing research has focused on single-band …

The heterogeneous network (HetNet) architecture, device-to-device (D2D) communications,
and coexistence with existing wireless systems have been regarded as new communication …

As power consumption results in greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs for operators,
analyzing power consumption in wireless networks and portable devices is of crutial …

We design, develop, and experimentally validate a complete integrated software/hardware
platform for airborne cognitive networking in both indoor and outdoor environments. We first …

We introduce a novel architecture incorporating broadband radio over optical fiber and
cognitive radio technologies into a unified network platform named Cognitive Wireless Local …

Abstract Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) based Cognitive Radio (CR) provisions an efficient
utilization of the scarce electromagnetic spectrum. Traditional CR includes Interweave and …
