Abstract: The knowledge plane (KP) paradigm proposes the evolution to a cognitive network, where the devices learn, decide, and act to achieve end-to-end goals. This emerging paradigm is clarifying a set of new cognitive-based protocols and algorithms that optimise wireless network's performance. This work presents a survey of the most relevant research about wireless network techniques that employ KP concepts. Open issues that should be addressed by an applicable cognitive wireless network are identified.

Keywords: knowledge plane; cognitive wireless networks; cognitive networks; network performance.
