摘要: Driven by the advent of sophisticated and ubiquitous applications, ever-growing need for information, wireless networks are without a doubt steadily evolving into profoundly more complex dynamic systems. The user demands progressively rampant, while application requirements continue to expand in both range diversity. Future networks, therefore, must be equipped with ability handle numerous, albeit challenging, requirements. Network reconfiguration, considered as prominent network paradigm, is envisioned play key role leveraging future performance considerably advancing current experiences. This paper presents comprehensive overview reconfigurable an in-depth analysis reconfiguration at all layers protocol stack. Such characteristically possess reconfigure adapt their hardware software components architectures, thus enabling flexible delivery broad services, well sustaining robust operation under highly conditions. offers unifying framework research networks. should provide reader holistic view concepts, methods, strategies Focus given systems relatively new emerging areas such cognitive radio cross-layer software-defined In addition, modern have intelligent capable self-organization. Thus, this discusses concept intelligence means enable Key processes intelligence, reasoning, learning, context awareness, presented illustrate how these methods can take level. Finally, supported several examples case studies showing tremendous impact on
