Spectrum occupancy measurements and lessons learned in the context of cognitive radio (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mehdawi, M., Riley, N. G., Ammar, M., Fanan, A., & Zolfaghari, M. (2015, November). Spectrum occupancy measurements and lessons learned in the context of cognitive radio. Presented at 2015 23rd Telecommunications Forum, TELFOR 2015

Various measurement campaigns have shown that numerous spectrum bands are vacant even though licenses have been issued by the regulatory agencies. Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) based on Cognitive Radio (CR) has been regarded as a prospective solution...
