Abstract—Due to the emergence of Cognitive Radio, a special type of heterogeneous networks attracts increasing interest recently, in which a secondary network composed of cogniti...
— Cognitive Radio systems face an important challenge – fast and reliable channel searching to enable secondary users to optimize available spectral resources. We revisit conve...
In Cognitive Radio scenarios channelization information from primary network may be available to the spectral monitor. Under this assumption we propose a spectral estimation algor...
— In an opportunistic spectrum sharing system, secondary users equipped with cognitive radios opportunistically access spectrum that is not being used by the primary users, i.e.,...
—In this paper, we develop an opportunistic spectrum scheduling scheme for cognitive radio networks. In the proposed scheme, the channel status (i.e., whether being occupied by p...
