Cognitive Tactical Communication Networks
By Bittium
Cognitive Radio (CR) has been an intensive topic of research in recent years. Its main applications range from the utilisation of TV white spaces to interoperability between large communication systems in all layers. Tactical communication systems that have to operate in hostile radio environments with interference, jamming and rapidly changing network topology share many common challenges with civilian cognitive radio.
This has been recognised by defence organisations, and many related research activities have also targeted the utilisation of cognition in tactical communications.
