ABSTRACT

It is well known that high-speed vehicles, such as high-speed trains, are playing an

increasingly important role in people’s lives, since they provide a relatively stable and

spacious environment for long distance travelers. As a result, there is a strong demand

for broadband wireless communications (BWC) for high-speed vehicles to provide

information access and onboard entertainment services for passengers. However, the

cognitive radio network should be employed to overcome the problem of spectrum

scarcity.
