ECE Dept. Seminar by Prof. Joseph MitolaThe Evolution of Software Defined and Cognitive Radio
Speaker:

Location: Babbio 204
Abstract:
Software defined radio is a foundation for cognitive radio which today has to do primarily with dynamic spectrum. However, as wireless devices continue to become more ubiquitous and as each device includes up to a dozen RF band-mode combinations, heterogeneous system on chip (SoC) architectures are emerging. This talk will characterize the evolution of cognitive radio from a SoC perspective, with observations on the way in which cognitive linguistics (a branch of the humanities) both informs the evolution of SoC and may become a basis for reducing the cost of SoC design. Cognitive linguistics also offers insights into the shortfalls of the semantic web as a basis for policy languages for cognitive radio. The conclusion is that interdisciplinary approaches to cognitive radio lead to sentient spaces in which a combination of embedded autonomy and user awareness leads to substantial advances in quality of experience.
This presentation provides an update to Professor Mitola's keynote address at Nokia's SoC workshop, Tampere Finland in Nov 2008.
