Cognitive Radio Applications of Spectrum Occupancy in HILLAH-IRQ Measurement and Analysis

Abstract

Abstract: Spectrum scarcity and underutilization are just two issues that cognitive radio (CR) technology has shown promise in addressing. Understanding the present level of frequency, time, and geographic spectrum consumption can help with CR network installation. Based on extensive spectrum measurements made over a long period of time using the energy detection method, we assess the spectrum use of a few chosen bands in HILLAH, IQ, in this study. This study shows that some licensees' spectrum is being used way too little, which CR can take advantage of for effective spectrum use.
