Abstract—Cognitive Radio Networks aim at enhancing spectrum utilization by allowing cognitive devices to opportunistically access vast portions of the spectrum. To reach such amb...
—Cognitive radios have the ability to sense their RF environment and adapt their transmission parameters to perform optimally in any situation. Part of this involves selecting th...
Cognitive radios (CR) have the ability to dynamically adapt to local spectrum availability. In a network comprised of CR-enabled devices, layer-2 auto-configuration involves deter...
The problem of distributed multiuser medium access of a hierarchical cognitive radio network with multiple primary and secondary users is considered. Each primary user has a licen...
