Take a look at this seminar presentation collection:
Public CWC GIGA Seminar 2010 Programme (January 11 2010)
http://www.cwc.oulu.fi/public-cwc-giga- ... ramme.htmlWorld's first cognitive radio network phone call
On Monday 11 January 2010 the first phone call over a cognitive radio network in the history of mankind was made using CWC's cognitive radio network CRAMNET (Cognitive Radio Assisted Mobile Ad Hoc Network) which has been developed solely by CWC researchers.
The demonstration proved CWC’s capability to build a cutting edge cognitive radio networks on top of open source research platforms. The cognitive radio network call was be made using a regular GSM cellular phone and received with a VoIP software running on a laptop connected to CWC’s CRAMNET. Thus, the call flow is a unique blend of old and new technologies comprising of GSM network, internet and CWC’s CRAMNET.
CWC’s demonstration highlights the possibility of using cognitivity to achieve opportunistic communication with very little compromise on quality of service. The bandwidth efficiency, capacity and flexibility of a network can be dramatically increased using cognitive technology which can be combined in a flexible manner with existing technologies.
There are also other interesting presentations shown at this presentation. Most presentations are related to wireless communications, but in addition there are topics in network management issues etc... Definately new up to date stuff you can find here.
