With the intent of efficient occupying under-utilized spectrum, radio environment map (REM) based cognitive radio (CR) networking is proposed to facilitate the distributed spectru...
—Cognitive radio has been proposed in recent years to promote the spectrum utilization by exploiting the existence of spectrum holes. The heterogeneity of both spectrum availabil...
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...
One of the major challenges to cognitive radios is the synchronization of distributed radios onto the same spectrum white spaces which vary in time and space. In this paper, we pr...
Cognitive Radio (CR) is a promising technology that can alleviate the spectrum shortage problem by enabling unlicensed users equipped with CRs to coexist with incumbent users in li...
