— Collaborative spectrum sensing among secondary users (SUs) in cognitive networks is shown to yield a significant performance improvement. However, there exists an inherent tra...
Uncertain capacity in newly emerged Cognitive Radio Networks(CRN) renders specific performance analysis for the secondary users (SUs), particularly in the aspects of Qualityof-Serv...
Abstract—In this paper two different cognitive radio architectures, i.e. stand-alone and distributed, are proposed for spectrum sensing purposes. In particular, both architecture...
We propose the cross-layer based opportunistic multi-channel medium access control (MAC) protocols, which integrate the spectrum sensing at physical (PHY) layer with the packet sch...
Effective spectrum sensing is a critical prerequisite for multi-channel cognitive radio (CR) networks, where multiple spectrum bands are sensed to identify transmission opportuniti...
