Cognitive radio means an intelligent and adaptive radio that knows its environment. Cognitive radio technology is a solution used to enhance utilization of spectrum enabling the users that are not licensed to exploit in an opportunistic way. Unlicensed users are considered as temporary on the spectrum that is licensed, and once a licensed user reclaims it they are expected to vacate. As a result of licensed users reclaiming the spectrum, there are disruptions in both unlicensed and licensed communications that are always difficult to prevent. To address these problems, a spectrum handoff structure is proposed for cognitive technology to ...

Introduction Gestalt psychology is built around the theory that the brain processes images and information in a holistic manner and creates self-organized juxtapositions. As per gestalt psychology, therefore, the ‘whole’ is invariably larger than ‘the sum of the parts’. Accordingly, the mind tries to make sense of images through the processes of ‘proximity’, ‘closure’, ‘figure-ground’, ‘common fate’, ‘similarity’ and ‘good continuation’ (Liquori, 2011).
