Question

A radio which enters into vibration mode autonomously is ____

(a) environment aware

(b) self aware

(c) spatially aware

(d) spectrum aware

I had been asked this question in homework.

My query is from Available Technologies for Cognitive Radio in portion Cognitive Radio Basics of Cognitive Radio

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(b) self aware

Explanation: A radio that enters into vibration mode autonomously is likely responding to its own internal state or environmental conditions, which indicates self-awareness. In the context of cognitive radio, self-awareness refers to the ability of the radio to autonomously monitor and adapt its internal state or parameters (such as frequency, power, or modulation) based on its own operation or surrounding environment.

• Environment aware would imply that the radio can sense external factors but doesn’t necessarily act autonomously based on internal conditions.
• Spatially aware refers to the radio's ability to understand its physical location or orientation in space.
• Spectrum aware refers to the ability to sense and adapt to the radio frequency spectrum to avoid interference or optimize transmission.

Thus, the best fit for a radio that autonomously enters vibration mode would be self aware, as it indicates an internal recognition and response to its own state.
