Market mechanisms have been exploited as important means for spectrum acquisition and access in cognitive radio networks. In this paper, we propose a two-tier market for decentrali...
Abstract—This paper considers an uplink time division multiple access (TDMA) cognitive radio network where multiple cognitive radios (secondary users) attempt to access a spect...
Cognitive radios (CR) have the ability to dynamically adapt to local spectrum availability. In a network comprised of CR-enabled devices, layer-2 auto-configuration involves deter...
Spectrum management has been identified as a crucial step towards enabling the technology of the cognitive radio network (CRN). Most of the current works dealing with spectrum ma...
Abstract—This paper considers maximizing throughput utility in a multi-user network with partially observable Markov ON/OFF channels. Instantaneous channel states are never known...
