Cognitive Radio for Broadband Access in Rural Africa and other Developing Countries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This thesis examines how Cognitive Radio (CR) can impact broadband access in rural Africa and other developing countries. We investigate how CR through dynamic spectrum access facilitates the efficient use of underutilized spectrum (white spaces) in ...

On the efficiency of distributed spectrum sensing in ad-hoc cognitive radio networks

open access: yes, 2009
In this work we evaluate the efficiency of cooperative spectrum sensing to support cognitive radio operation, when sensing is assigned to the cognitive users, randomly located in the area of a primary network.

A new analytical model for multi-hop cognitive radio networks

open access: yes, 2012
The cognitive radio (CR) is an emerging technique for increasing the utilisation of communication resources by allowing the unlicensed users to employ the under-utilised spectrum. In this paper, a new analytical performance model is developed to evaluate

How Video‐Based Information Affects Farmers' Willingness to Pay for Drone Services

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Professional service for digital technology like agricultural drones lowers transaction costs and scope thresholds for smallholders. Meanwhile, perceptual adoption barriers remain underexplored. We conduct a two‐stage choice experiment with a randomized video‐based information treatment among 384 Chinese crop farmers to measure its effect on ...
