Abstract—Recent studies have been conducted to indicate the ineffective usage of licensed bands due to the static spectrum allocation. In order to improve the spectrum utilizatio...
This paper presents an efficient and fair uplink resource allocation algorithm in multicarrier based cognitive radio systems. The proposed resource allocation is divided into two s...
Cognitive radio (CR) techniques improve the spectrum utilization by exploiting temporarily-free frequency bands (i.e., in the time domain). The spectrum utilization can be boosted...
—In a cognitive radio network, opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) to the underutilized spectrum involves not only sensing the spectrum occupancy but also probing the channel qua...

Abstract— Spectrum-agile radios, also known as cognitive radios, have a great potential to improve spectrum utilization by enabling dynamic access to the spectrum. A key challeng...
