Scope and Objectives
In the last two decades, cognitive radios have emerged as an efficient way to improve spectrum utilization and provide more flexibility in networking. A significant change in cognitive radio networks (CRNs) recently is putting social behaviour in the loop. Many social behaviours can be sensed and even predicted by the machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) based smart applications. In this context, the social behaviour is a new driven force for better performance in CRNs. In addition, emerging smart applications can strongly affect social behaviour, which will be a new driven force for proposing new applications in CRNs as well. In this social behaviour driven CRNs, critical technical problems should be solved to realize the potential benefits, e.g., how to efficiently formulate and utilize human-device interactions to boost communication performance since the device holder are supposed to be mobile regularly, and how to facilitate the benefits of considering social behaviours and application characteristics from utilizing the devices’ capability of caching and computing. Another major challenge is how to sense and understand social behaviours and application characteristics. In this SIG group, we provide a platform on the development of social behaviour driven CRNs to exploit and explore new dimensions.
