Enabled by regulatory initiatives and advanced radio technology, more flexible opportunistic spectrum access has great potential to alleviate the spectrum scarcity. In this paper,...
—We consider opportunistic communications over multiple channels where the state (“good” or “bad”) of each channel evolves as independent and identically distributed Mark...
— An opportunistic radio is a radio able to detect the spectrum unused bands, and to adapt its transmission parameters in order to transmit within these free bands. An opportunis...

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...
—Open spectrum systems allow unlicensed secondary users equipped with cognitive radio to opportunistically access the spectrum underutilized by primary users. Cognitive radio has...
