ABSTRACT
The ultimate vision of cognitive radio technology encompasses many
capabilities including autonomous execution of tasks that today require
manual intervention. A conventional radio when operating in a particular
communications mode always follows the same procedure and either succeeds
or fails at a given task. A cognitive radio, by contrast, can have a
knowledge-driven differentialresponse capability; that is, it can use
knowledge of radio technology and policy, representations of the goals,
and other contextual parameters to reason about a failed attempt to
satisfy a goal and to identify alternative actions that would achieve
the goal. We have built a prototype simulation framework for a cognitive
radio that exhibits this capability in various scenarios. Based upon
this experience, this paper proposes a general architecture that merges knowledge representation technologies (both ontologies and rules)
with the processing structures of existing software defined radio technology
to enable this capability as well as form a foundation for other cognitive
abilities.
