·       IEEE BEST READINGS FROM GURKAN GUR AND SUZAN BAYHAN

 

http://www.comsoc.org/best-readings/topic/cognitive-radio

 

 

G. Gür and F. Alagöz, “Green wireless communications via cognitive dimension: An overview,” IEEE Network, vol. 25, no. 2, pp. 50-56, March-April 2011. 
An interesting work on applications of cognitive radio concepts in the context of green communications. Two approaches are discussed, i.e., applying cognitive radio to achieve energy efficiency and developing energy efficiency for cognitive radio systems. The paper introduces the different techniques in achieving energy efficiency in wireless systems and how to apply those techniques in cognitive radio.

 

G. Gur, S. Bayhan, and F. Alagöz, “Cognitive femtocell networks: An overlay architecture for localized dynamic spectrum access,” IEEE Wireless Communications, vol. 17, no. 4, pp. 62-70, Aug. 2010. 
An important work on the application of cognitive radio concepts in the evolving femtocell networks - proposes a femtocell-based cognitive radio architecture for enabling multitiered opportunistic access in next-generation hierarchical cellular wireless networks.

 

Congradulations to Gurkan and Suzan !

·       Three SATLAB members have made it to the finals of Google Anita Borg Scholarship in the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East and North Africa) for the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 academic years.

Derya Cavdar and Suzan Bayhan has been awarded the scholarship while Didem Gözüpek has made it to the select group of finalists. They visited Google's Engineering Centre in Zurich, Switzerland for a networking retreat in June 2009.
The scholarships are awarded based on the strength of each candidate’s academic background and demonstrated leadership. Through the scholarship, Google aims to encourage women to excel in computing and technology, and become active role models and leaders.

Congratulations to Derya, Suzan and Didem!
