Cognitive Radio: Intelligent Communication

Cognitive Radio uses HackRF software-defined radios with machine learning to teach AI systems to communicate across the full electromagnetic spectrum. The system learns to select channels, avoid interference, and carry voice and data over consumer radio hardware.

HackRF SDR hardware → ML spectrum analyzer → channel selection agent. Full EM spectrum scanning with learned interference avoidance. Voice and data modulation over consumer radio bands.
Live RF spectrum captures across multiple bands. Labeled interference patterns for supervised training.
AI agent learns to select clear channels and adapt modulation in real-time across the EM spectrum.
FCC regulatory constraints on transmission. HackRF hardware bandwidth limits simultaneous channel monitoring.
