Includes bibliographical references. The implementation of cognitive radios is widely proposed through the use of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation. In the special case of cognitive radios however, the OFDM modulation scheme cannot simply be implemented without modification due to the huge change in the basic laws of the transmission paradigm. The main reason behind this is that the modulation scheme can no longer assume the contiguousness of its band as well as the interference that may be caused by the cognitive radio users operating in such close proximity to the licensed users. The research presented in this thesis namely identified two areas of cognitive radio which addressed these issues. These were the power loading and channel estimation areas. 2014-07-31T10:52:27Z 2014-07-31T10:52:27Z 2013 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5099 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
