A cognitive radio is a radio with built-in intelligence that makes it able to utilize the radio frequency spectrum more efficiently by adapting to the changing conditions and frequency availability. In this thesis a spectrum sensor radio is designed that detects transmissions in FM band and determine the range of used and unused frequencies within the band. The radio then starts a transmission on a frequency among the available frequencies. This intelligent radio system design is implemented using the Universal Software Radio Peripheral and GNU Radio with a program written in python that uses a number of GNU Radio modules …

Multi-carrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) is an important multiple access candidate for 4G wireless communication system. While MC-CDMA provides high performance and high capacity in frequency selective fading channels, it is very sensitive to the signal distortion, especially the Inter Carrier Interference (ICI). We apply self-cancelation and a frequency transmission paradigm to MC-CDMA system to improve the sytem performance in an ICI rich environment. Furthermore, we combine the frequency transmission paradigm FD-MC-CDMA with ICI cancelation. Also, we apply all these three schemes into non-contiguous OFDM and non-contiguous MC-CDMA systems in simple Cognitive Radio communication environments and present the simulation results. Theoretical …
