Dissertation in Progress

Neel: Analyzing the Interactions of Cognitive Radios

Note (7-6-6): The following has not yet been reviewed by the committee and should be treated as drafts. Indeed some chapters contain comments of the author to himself reminding him to update certain details. Chapters without pdfs will be posted in the coming days as rough (in two cases, very rough) drafts of all of the chapters are complete. Look for this to be updated.

(8-1-6) Link to game theory chapter added.

(8-15-6) Links to chapters 5-7 added.

(pdf) Chapter 1: Cognitive Radio

(pdf) Chapter 2: Modeling and Problem Formalization

(pdf) Chapter 3: Analyzing the Interactions of Procedural Radios
