Abstract

It is our great honour to introduce the inaugural issue of EAI Transactions on Cognitive Communications. It has been more than one decade since the creation of the cognitive radio concept. The research and development of cognitive communications have then been sparked. Now the new era of communications is coming. The year of 2014 will witness the beginning of the 5G era. It is the year where cognitive communications meet real applications. We hope our new released Transactions will contribute to this new development.
