| Abstract |
: |
Cognitive radio is a multidisciplinary field that is fast becoming a reality. In this lecture, I will
address the following issues:
- Is cognitive radio an evolution or revolution?
- The implications of cognition
- Pressing needs for cognitive radio
- Fundamental issues in cognitive radio:
- Radio scene analysis
- Feedback from the receiver to the transmitter
- Transmit power control and dynamic spectrum management
- Multiple-user communications
- I will conclude the lecture by identifying the research challenges in the design and development of
cognitive radio networks.

Simon Haykin received his B.Sc (First Class Honours), Ph.D. and D.Sc, all in Electrical
Engineering at the University of Birmingham in England. Presently he is a University Professor in the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McMaster University, Canada. He is a Fellow of the IEEE
and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
He is the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate of Technical Sciences from ETH, Zurich, Switzerland, and the
first recipient of the Henry Booker Gold Medal from URSI, as well as many other prizes and awards. He is the
author/coauthor of many books, including the classical books: Adaptive Filter Theory (Prentice Hall), Neural
Networks (Prentice Hall), and Communication Systems (Wiley). His current research interests are focused on
Cognitive Dynamic Systems with particular emphasis on the following:
- The design of a new generation of adaptive hearing system for the hearing impaired (encompassing a
cocktail part processor and neorocompesator), and the modeling of human communication in a noisy
background.
- Nonlinear filtering for state estimation.
- Cognitive radar networks involving the use of inexpensive radar sensors.
- Robust algorithms for transmit power control and spectrum management in cognitive radio
