Cognitive radio (CR) is a revolution in radio technology and is viewed as an enabling technology for dynamic spectrum access. This paper investigates how to design distributed alg...
— Previous works studied the effect of many system parameters on spectrum sharing opportunities where secondary users access the spectrum of primary users. However, a parameter t...
— In order to maintain a conflict-free environment among licensed primary users (PUs) and unlicensed secondary users (SUs) in cognitive radio networks, providing frequency and g...
—We consider a cognitive radio network with distributed multiple secondary users, where each user independently searches for spectrum opportunities in multiple channels without e...
Abstract—In decentralized cognitive radio (CR) networks, enabling the radios to establish a control channel (i.e., “rendezvous” to establish a link) is a challenging problem....
