Abstract
The introduction of the cognitive principle into the logic of a wireless net- work requires extending the cognitive concept to rules of operation that take into account the presence of several nodes in the network as well as their instantaneous configuration. In this perspective, the design goal moves from the definition of a single smart device to a network of smart devices that must be capable of efficiently coexisting in a given geographical area by using cooperation. This goal requires the integration of cognitive prin- ciples into the rules of interaction between nodes in the network: the set of wireless nodes should form a social network that must be modeled and analyzed as one entity in order to optimize the design of network functions such as resource management and routingKeywords
