Abstract :

Software defined radio (SDR) and cognitive radio (CR) are fast technologies, which can be used to reduce the spectrum shortage problem. The modern SDR has been called the heart of a CR. The applications executing on the radio differentiate a cognitive radio from a SDR. Additional hardware in the form of sensors and actuators increases the more cognitive radio applications. CR networks have been become an increasingly part of the wireless networking landscape due to the increasing scarcity of spectrum resources. A number of wireless applications have been developing over the last decade. Government agencies give the license to most of the frequency spectrum, such as Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The main objective of this paper is to analyze the SDR based CR, threats and security issue of the main recent advancements and architectures of SDR and CR networks.
