Abstract—We propose a model-based channel access mechanism for cognitive radio-enabled secondary network, which opportunistically uses the channel of an unslotted primary network...
Cognitive radio is an enabling technology that allows unlicensed users to opportunistically access the spectrum in order to enhance the spectrum efficiency. In this paper, we cons...
—The IEEE 802.22 standard for wireless regional area network is the first standard for cognitive radio that tries to harness the idle or under-utilized spectrum allocated for TV...
—We aim to characterize the maximum link throughput of a multi-channel opportunistic communication system. The states of these channels evolve as independent and identically dist...
