Abstract—This paper considers maximizing throughput utility in a multi-user network with partially observable Markov ON/OFF channels. Instantaneous channel states are never known...
Abstract— Spectrum-agile radios, also known as cognitive radios, have a great potential to improve spectrum utilization by enabling dynamic access to the spectrum. A key challeng...
Effective spectrum sensing is a critical prerequisite for multi-channel cognitive radio (CR) networks, where multiple spectrum bands are sensed to identify transmission opportuniti...
