“…7 Additionally, and more specifically in the case of cognitive radio (CR) networks, it may also contain information pertaining to primary transmitter locations and the corresponding spectrum access policies for the secondary users. Initially envisioned to provide a better coverage estimate for television broadcasting to empower TV white space networks, 8 it was later adopted to empower other CR applications like spectrum occupancy modeling and measurement, 9 resource allocation 10 and channel characterization 11 and so on. Currently, a significant variety of contemporary and upcoming use-cases are being catered to by REMs for example, 5G and IoT network optimization, 12,13 wireless resource allocation, 14 cooperative communication, 15 transmitter localization, 16 UAV based access point placement, 17 network diagnostics, 18 Multi-hop routing, 19 and military applications.…”
