Abstract

This thesis explores future challenges in digital radio communication, particularly focusing on scalability and connectivity issues that could impede technological advancements. With the increasing production of digital technology and reliance on radio frequencies, there is a need for innovative solutions to overcome limitations in spectrum availability, interference management, and bandwidth constraints. This work evaluates current modulation techniques, spectrum allocation strategies, and advanced communication technologies such as cognitive radio systems and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis, this thesis identifies promising developments, including dynamic spectrum sharing and symbiotic radio systems, that could significantly enhance spectrum efficiency and network performance. The research emphasizes the necessity of continuous technological evolution to ensure the radio communication infrastructure can meet future demands without compromising service quality or network security. Future work is recommended to focus on practical implementations and testing of these technologies to validate their effectiveness in real-world scenarios, with an emphasis on safety and reliability for critical communication systems.
