personal," IEEE Personal Communications, vol. 6, no.
4, pp. 13-18, August 1999.
This is the pioneering paper which introduces the concept of
cognitive radio and discusses its relationship with software
defined radio – also introduces the idea of using Radio Knowledge
Representation Language (RKRL) to implement cognitive and software
defined radios.
S. Haykin, “Cognitive radio: Brain-empowered wireless
communications,” IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in
Communications, vol. 23, no. 2, pp. 201-220, February
2005.
This is a seminal paper, which for the first time discusses the
basic cognitive radio functionalities from communications, signal
processing, and networking point of view and introduces methods for
radio scene analysis, channel state and interference-temperature
estimation, and power control for cognitive radios.

“NeXt generation/dynamic spectrum access/cognitive
radio wireless networks: A survey,” Computer Networks
(Elsevier), vol. 50, no. 13, pp. 2127-2159, September
2006.
This is an extensive survey on the architecture and protocol design
issues for cognitive radio networks or dynamic spectrum access
(DSA) networks, also referred to as NeXt Generation (xG)
networks.
M. Buddhikot, “Understanding dynamic spectrum access: Models,
taxonomy and challenges,” in Proc. of IEEE DySPAN
2007, Dublin, Ireland, April 17-21, 2007.
This paper provides a very comprehensive review and taxonomy of the
different spectrum access models. Four broad classes spectrum
access models: Command and control, exclusive use, shared-use of
primary licensed spectrum, and commons, and their sub-cases are
described in detail.
Q. Zhao and B. M. Sadler, “A survey of dynamic spectrum access,” IEEE
Signal Processing Magazine, vol. 24, no. 3, pp. 79-89, May
2007.
This is one of the early tutorial papers on cognitive radio, which
provides a summary of technical and regulatory challenges in
dynamic spectrum access.
