Spectrum Access Techniques in Cognitive Radio Technology
Spectrum Access Techniques in Cognitive Radio TechnologyThe ever growing demand for wireless services has placed enormous burden on valuable resources such as spectral bandwidth. This has resulted in the evolution of various new technologies. Today’s radio environment features a heterogeneous mix of radio access technologies. In such an environment many wireless standards, or radio access technologies (RATs), coexist aided by advances in processors, RF technology, and software (resulting in software defined radios). As the number of wireless devices requiring spectrum access will undoubtedly increase, much effort has gone into exploiting the available spectrum as it exhibits large geospatial and temporal variance. Cognitive Radio (CR) offers a solution to it. The cognitive radio paradigm aims to design intelligent radios that can sense the environment and adapt the transceiver parameters as well as the resource allocation decisions in order to exploit the spectrum availability aggressively.

International Usability Testing
International Usability TestingIn Sweden, the cash dispensers have very large buttons. Do you know why these buttons are so big? You can press them wearing thick gloves. Swedish winters are cold. In the USA, zip code is a well-known concept. It stands for 'Zone Improvement Plan', but has very little meaning to anyone outside the US. In Japan, people find disembodied body parts, e.g. eyes and mouths, unappealing in visual imagery. Companies that compete in the international marketplace recognize the value of user experience and user testing in their global strategy. Usability testing is a well-established technique to enhance the user experience of products. It might seem like mission impossible to test applications and designs with all target culture representatives present, don't you think? In this white paper, we outline everything you need to know when considering international usability testing. So you can go out there, get the data and make a better product!
