This paper describes an architecture for a node in a cognitive network that employs distributed learning and reasoning. We present the architecture and describe a method of distributed reasoning using an island genetic algorithm. We then formulate a channel allocation problem that is unique to the use of cognitive radio networks for dynamic spectrum access. We provide simulation results for the island genetic algorithm as applied to our channel allocation problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
