     17=== Intercomponent Communication === 
    1718The CROSS is a modular cognitive radio system framework that utilizes socket connections for the inter-component communication method.  Utilizing a socket connection for component communication allows the system components to be developed in a language independent manner.  Even though the Cognitive Radio Shell library and API will be implemented in C++, the external modules such as the Cognitive Engine, Service Management Layer, and Policy Engine can be implemented in any language that supports a TCP/IP socket interface.

    2930In addition to the feature of language independent development, the natural benefit of a TCP/IP socket interface is the ability to operate modules remotely.  The Cognitive Radio Shell is located local to the radio hardware, however, the Cognitive Engine or Policy Engine can be located remotely on hardware more appropriate for complex optimization or for distributed policy decision making.  Clearly, the remote operation depends upon the timing critical nature of the return of the optimization results.  In no way does the TCP/IP socket communication limit the Cognitive Radio System to only remote modules, in fact local socket connections require little overhead and provide for a flexible method of connecting these major Cognitive Radio System components.
