Adaptive and Distributed Beamforming for Cognitive Radio

Cognitive Radio (CR) is an energy efficient technique that is capable of optimizing the premium radio resources, such as power and spectrum. In this thesis, we focus on exploiting spatial diversity for CR. We have adopted two spatial signal processing techniques, i.e., Adaptive Beamforming (ABF) and Distributed Beamforming (DB) for CR users and...

Efficient radio transmission with adaptive and distributed beamforming for intelligent WiMAX

In this paper, we introduce Adaptive Beamforming (AB) and Distributed Beamforming (DB) as two efficient techniques for IntelligentWiMAX (I-WiMAX). I-WiMAX is a new maritime communication system, consisting of Smart Radio (SR) principles and mobile WiMAX based on the IEEE 802.16e standard. Adopting AB, the same spectrum can accommodate more users...
