Liu Article on 'Cognitive Radio Games' Featured in IEEE Spectrum

An article by Prof. K. J. Ray Liu was featured prominently in the April 2011 issue of IEEE Spectrum magazine. The feature, titled Cognitive Radio Games, explores how cognitive radio technology and game theory can help address the problem of overcrowded airwaves that must accommodate increasing wireless demands in a world of ubiquitous smart phones and wireless devices.

Cognitive radio refers to intelligent systems of wireless communication in which the radios people carry around try to achieve the best performance possible by sensing and adapting to changes in their electromagnetic environments, including changes in the way other radios are operating.
