Cognitive radio is a wireless technology that optimizes increasingly crowded spectrum resources by finding and utilizing unoccupied frequencies.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EGEDC and SEM contributed the spectrum sensing segment of the team\u0027s proposal, which was presented by Kyutae Lim, GEDC\u0027s associate director of technology and a research engineer in Georgia Tech\u0027s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Spectrum sensing technology, considered by many to be the most critical component of cognitive radio technology, uses minimal power to enable rapid analysis of bandwidth usage conditions in a given area.  \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis technology, developed by GEDC and SEM engineers, is the first research result from Samsung RFIC Design Center at Georgia Tech, established in August 2005.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022As an academic research organization, we\u0027re very pleased to be contributing to the new IEEE 802.22 standards,\u0022 said Joy Laskar, director of Georgia Electronic Design Center and a professor with Georgia Tech\u0027s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.  \u0022We believe our work with Samsung and ETRI will aid in forging a useful new communications standard.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ESEM\u0027s vice president, Haksun Kim, said, \u0022Samsung Electro-Mechanics Company is gratified to be working with the Georgia Electronic Design Center on the new IEEE 802.22 communication standard.  We believe that cognitive radio will lead to important future business opportunities for our company.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EETRI contributed the overall framework of the proposed system, which is  based on Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technology.  The framework concept consists of medium access control (MAC) and physical (PHY) layers.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022ETRI is pleased to have made a significant contribution to the IEEE 802.22 standard proposal, teamed with Samsung and Georgia Tech,\u0022 said Chang-Joo Kim, director of ETRI\u0027s Radio Technology Department.  \u0022The work being done by our team and others will accelerate the development of cognitive radio technologies that will enable dynamic spectrum resource management.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout GEDC\u003C\/strong\u003E: The Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC) supports world-class research, active and solution-oriented industry collaboration, intellectual property generation and revenue generating commercialization efforts. Supported both by industry partners and federal laboratories, GEDC\u0027s research is broadly focused on fostering technology at the intersection of today\u0027s communications applications: wireless\/RF, wired\/copper and fiber channels.
