Technical information

WG3 will deal with all research aspects relevant to the technical challenge 3, with particular focus on the extension of cognition from the single network device to the whole network. More in detail, WG3 will deal with the definition of network-wide mechanisms for enabling the cognitive approach. Research issues relevant to TC3 encompass all network-wide functions required for the deployment of cognitive networks of smart secondary devices that cooperate in order to coexist with primary systems. Research topics to be addressed in the framework of TC3 include:

o Design of admission control strategies capable of introducing cognitive aspects in the decision on whether to admit new devices in the network, while maintaining the network in a condition of stability;

o Design of routing protocols capable of selecting end-to-end paths based on observations that are carried out at lower layers. To this aim the impact of the observed wireless environment on link and path performance, as well as the expected impact of the environment on network topology must be correctly modelled.
