Abstract :
The focus of this Special Section is to showcase a unified vision for future cognitive radios, with an emphasis on antennas and RF front ends, and the algorithms for learning and controlling the RF/antenna front-end of any future cognitive radios as well as the sensing and integration of the propagation environment into the system configuration. Fifteen papers are part of this special section.
