Establishing a control channel for medium access control is a challenging problem in multi-channel and dynamic spectrum access (DSA) networks. In the design of multi-channel MAC p...
— The European IST research projects WINNER and WINNER II aim at developing a single new ubiquitous radio access system concept that can be adapted for use in a wide variety of m...
Abstract--Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) supporting opportunistic transmission without extra spectrum bandwidth is attractive for future wireless communication. To facilitate such D...
We consider a multi-channel opportunistic communication system where the states of these channels evolve as independent and statistically identical Markov chains (the Gilbert-Elli...
Cognitive radio gives users the ability to switch channels and make use of dynamic spectral opportunities. However, switching channels takes time, and may disrupt the quality of a...
