—We study the problem of dynamic spectrum sensing and access in cognitive radio systems as a partially observed Markov decision process (POMDP). A group of cognitive users cooper...

—Accurate sensing of the spectrum condition is of crucial importance to the mitigation of the spectrum scarcity problem in dynamic spectrum access (DSA) networks. Specifically, ...
We consider a class of restless multi-armed bandit problems that arises in multi-channel opportunistic communications, where channels are modeled as independent and stochastically...
—In this paper, the IEEE 802.16 protocol is investigated with respect to the bandwidth provision problem arising at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. The aim is to optimally...
There are various situations where a distinction needs to be made between group members and outsiders. For example, to protect students in chat groups from unpleasant incidents ca...
