چکیده

Research on context-aware communications recently led to the introduction of features and algorithms relying on the presence and rich, accurate context information, requiring however the introduction of cross-layer information exchanges. Cognitive radio (CR), in particular, is expected to benefit from context awareness, as the cognitive engine (CE) relies on the availability of multiple information sources to operate efficiently. In this context, this work delivers a detailed, yet concise classification and description of the information exchanged in a CR network between the layers of a generic protocol stack, and between each layer and the CE. For each layer, the key services provided and delivered are presented, followed by a catalogue of exchanged parameters. The analysis, supported by a set of use cases providing a quantitative assessment of the impact of crosslayer information exchanges in a CR framework, is the basis for the for the discussion of key implementation challenges and the identification of the most promising partition of functions and tasks between layers and CE.

In this paper we consider cognitive processes and their impact on the performance of cognitive radio networks (CRN). We model the cognition cycle, the main control process of the cognitive radio (CR), during which CR sequentially senses and estimates the environment state, creates plans based on the knowledge (models) of itself and that of the environment, makes decisions in order to optimize c...

Decentralisation – A Portmanteau Concept That Promises Much but Fails to Deliver?; Comment on “Decentralisation of Health Services in Fiji: A Decision Space Analysis”

Decentralisation has been described as an empty concept that lacks clarity. Yet there is an enduring interest in the process of decentralisation within health systems and public services more generally. Many claims about the benefits of decentralisation are not supported by evidence. It may be useful as an organising framework for analysis of health systems but in this context it lacks conceptu...
