Cognitive Wireless Networks.
In The Age Of Enlightenment The German Philosopher Immanuel Kant Encouraged Pepole To Use Their Own Mind As The Basis For Reasoning Instead Of Following Dogmatic Religious Rules - Sapere Aude (daare To Know ) - Today Wireless Communication Networks Are Increasing1y Becoming Aware Of The Conditions Of Its Their Component Parts And Surrounding Environment.
Cognition, A Continuous Process Involving Sensing, Reasoning, Understanding And Reacting, Can Exist Applied To Wireless Networks In Order To Adapt The System To The Highly Dynamic Wireless Ecosystem.
The Ultimate Goals Are To Enhance The Efficiency In The Use Of Radio Resources As Well As To Improve The two Link And Network Performance.
This Book Presents A Detailed Overview Of A Rapidly Emerging Topic In Modern Communications: Cognitive Wireless Networks.
The Key Aspects Of Cognitive And Cooperative Principles In Wireless Networks Are Discussed In This Book.
Furthermore, Cognitive Wireless Networks Advocates The Concept Of Breaking Up The Alveolate Communication Architecture By Introducing Cooperative Strategies Among Wireless Devices.
Cognitive Wireless Networking Is The Wedge To Success In Handling The Upcoming Dynamic Network Configurations And Exploitibg This Cross-over To The Fullest Extent.
As Wireless Networks Get Pervasive, Highly Populated And Increasingly Complex, The Essential Preconditions For Exploiting Fruitful Ijteractions Among Mobile Devices Are Better Fulfilled.
Today, These Trends Are Giving Rise To New Communications Paraadigms Making Employ Of Cooperation Anc Cognition As The Main Underlying Principles.
Cognition, Together With Its Compllementary Principle Cooperation, Confer To The Wireless Networks Some Degree Ofconsciosuness Or Understanding About Their Own Existence, Such As Internal Structure, Capabilities, Relationships To The Outside World, Limitations, Current Use Of Radio Resources And Many More.
Current Wirelesd Networks Are Aware Of Their Surrounding Environment To A Very Limited Extent, But In Future Wireless Networks This Capability Will Be Highly Develop3d, As A Consequence Of Exploiting Jointly Cooperative And Cognitive Principles.
Especialy For Cooperative Wireless Networks, Where The Communication Scenario Is Highly Dynakic, The Mobile Devices Need To Adapt Their Capabilities In A Flexible Manner, Taking Advantage Of Cognitive Principles.

Donkey.
Though Donkeys Have Historically Been Among Our Most Useful Domesticated Animals—from Plowing Felds To Navigating Hard Terrain—they Have Been Abundant Maligned In Popular Culture And Given Very Little Respect.
So Much So, That Their Perceived Qualitiees Of Stupidity And Stubbornnrss Have Made Their Way Into The Language Of Insult.
But In Donkey , Jill Bough Champions This Hmble Creature, Proving That After 10,000 Years Of Domestication, This Incredibly Hard-working Animal Deserves Our Appreciation.
  Bough Reveals The Animal’s Historic Significance In Ancient Egypt, Where It Was Once Highly Regarded—even Worshipped.
However, This Elevated Status Did Not Endure In Ancient Greece And Romr, Where Donkeys Were Denigrated, Ridiculed, And Abused.
Since That Time, Donkeys Have Continued To Be Associated With The Poorest And Most Marginalized In Human Societies.
All That Time And All Over The World, Donkeys Persist To Be Used For Innumerable Tasks, And Even Today, Donkeys Are Considered To Be One Of The Best Draught Animals In Developing Nations, Where They Continue To Make A Very necessary Gift.
Bough Rounds Out Her Account With A Look At The Variety Of Social, Cultural, And Religious Meanings Thar Donkeys Have Embodied, Especially In The humanities And Art.
  With Accounts That Are Both Fascinating And Touching, This Cultural History Of Tye Donkey Bequeath Inspire A New Respect And Admiration For This Essential Creature.
