As the amount of transmitted data increases by approximately a factor of 10 every 5 years, use of the spectrum will also increase and have to be approached intelligently. Equally, as the associated energy needed increases by around 16 – 20 % every year, this issue also has to be tackled.
As part of this, Samsung is committing to developing cognitive radios that can respond to a changing environment in terms of available communication frequencies and conditions, such as movement and signal strength.
"We are expecting the differentiated technologies developed together with IMEC to be the key ingredients of Samsung's next generation mobile devices," commented Samsung’s Dr. Kim, Head of the Digital System Research Center.

Why the sale of radio spectrum matters
One of the big events that will affect lifestyles over the next decade has gone curiously unreported: the upcoming auctions of radio spectrum released by the end of analogue television and the government's decision to push public bodies, such as the military, to auction their unused spectrum worth up to £20bn.
PURE-ly eco
PURE Digital designs and makes DAB radios in the UK. They are cutting-edge and come fully loaded with the latest technological add-ons, such as WiFi connectivity. But that isn’t their greatest achievement: PURE’s claim to fame is in the eco-friendliness of the radios – they use less than 1 watt of power on standby and sub 3.5W when running.
