Abstract

The policy of permanently assigning a frequency band to a single application has led to extremely low utilization of the available spectrum. Cognitive radio, with its ability to be both intelligent and frequency agile, is thought to be one of the prime contenders to provide the necessary capabilities needed for dynamic spectrum access systems. With this in mind, this paper discusses the practical issues inherent to the deployment of spectrum management systems utilizing cognitive radios.
