In this talk, the concept of exploiting prior knowledge to improve several aspects of wireless communications will be presented. The principles of knowledge-aided techniques will be discussed along with their impact on the performance and the energy consumption of wireless networks. Examples of knowledge-aided techniques will be considered for detection, parameter estimation and decoding algorithms, and their applications to wireless networks.
