Expected Impact

The cognitive radio concept is expected to become the most important technique able to improve the efficiency of the radio spectrum use. It will represent a key technology on the way to future high-capacity wireless communications networks, and thus major impacts are expected.
In order to make the concept of cognitive radio applicable, the findings of SENDORA will provide inputs to standardization groups and regulation authorities. The project will thus contribute to the development of global standards for future networks.

An impact on the competitiveness of European telecommunications industry and academia is also expected. Indeed, the results of SENDORA will help them to take a strong position in the development of key technologies for future wireless broadband services. Hence, SENDORA will help reinforcing European industrial strengths in wireless networks and developing stronger synergies between the various actors of the sector.

New services and business opportunities are also expected to emerge from the cognitive radio concept. The scenarios and use cases considered in SENDORA will help to identify new industrial opportunities in Europe, for instance in the field of the Internet technologies.
