Abstract—Opportunistic wireless channel access by nonlicensed users has emerged as a promising solution for addressing the bandwidth scarcity challenge. Auctions represent a natu...
— The aggregate capacity of wireless ad-hoc networks can be substantially increased if each wireless node is equipped with multiple network interface cards (NICs) and each NIC op...
— 1 Taking advantage of the independent fading channel conditions among multiple wireless users, opportunistic transmissions schedule the user with the instantaneously best condi...
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...
Cognitive radio is an enabling technology that allows unlicensed users to opportunistically access the spectrum in order to enhance the spectrum efficiency. In this paper, we cons...
