An auction‐based MAC protocol for cognitive radio networks

Cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum sharing systems use innovative spectrum management techniques that allow different systems to share the same frequency band to utilize the radio spectrum in an efficient way. In this paper, we propose a novel cognitive media access control protocol for cognitive radio networks under the property‐rights model, in which secondary users are divided into several nonoverlapping groups, and each group uses the proposed auction algorithm to bid for required channels from the auctioneer appointed by primary users. Simulations indicate that our proposed media access control protocol can effectively utilize spectrum resources, achieve high system efficiency, and guarantee the fairness of channel allocation among groups.

An efficient and adaptive channel handover procedure for cognitive radio networks

In designing cognitive radio systems, one of the most critical issues is handling the channel handover process (CHP). The CHP consists of spectrum sensing, spectrum decision, negotiation on the common control channel, and adjustment of frequency and modulation settings, and such, it can be a time‐consuming process. Consequently, initiating the CHP after each detected user activity (UA) can decrease the aggregate spectrum utilization. To alleviate this problem, we introduce a novel handover strategy to find the optimal trade‐off between the durations of the CHP and UAs. With the use this model, secondary users (SUs) track only local information on their current data channel to make the decision to initiate the CHP or to wait for the termination of the ongoing UA. The system adapts to the dynamic conditions of the data channels and reduces the frequency of handovers to increase throughput and decrease access delay. We give analytical utilization bounds for SUs and also compare the performance of our model to those of other channel handover strategies by using extensive simulations. Our results for channels with heterogeneous loads and dynamic environments show that this model can clearly decrease the frequency of handover and consequently increase the aggregate SU utilization.

Adaptive channel selection and slot length configuration in cognitive radio

This paper investigates the channel selection and slot time configuration in a cognitive radio network with a number of potential channels. Each channel alternates between ON state (i.e., the primary user is using the channel) and OFF state (i.e., the primary user does not use the channel), and the state evolution process is modeled as a continuous‐time Markov process. The traffic parameters (the transition rates) of the Markov process also evolve with time, modeled as a discrete‐time Markov process. A secondary user adopts a slotted structure with dynamic slot length. At each slot, the secondary user needs to determine which channel to sense and, if the channel is sensed idle, how long the slot length should be. Considering both the amount of data that the secondary user can transmit and the duration when the secondary user interferes with primary activities, a reward definition is given. Based on the reward definition, an adaptive channel selection and slot length configuration method is proposed, which includes a reward maximization procedure to maximize the achieved reward and an update procedure for the channel state belief vector and traffic parameter state belief vector. Numerical results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and features of the proposed method. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Evolution and future trends of research in cognitive radio: a contemporary survey

The cognitive radio (CR) paradigm for designing next‐generation wireless communications systems is becoming increasingly popular, and different aspects of it are being implemented in currently available wireless systems. In the last decade, a significant amount of research efforts has been made to solve CR challenges, and several standards related to CR and dynamic spectrum access have been developed. Also, there have been advances in software‐defined radio platforms to implement the CR systems. In this article, we provide a comprehensive survey on the evolution of CR research covering aspects such as spectrum sensing, measurements and statistical modeling of spectrum usage, physical layer aspects such as waveform and modulation design, multiple access, resource allocation and power control, cognitive learning, adaptation and self‐configuration, multihop transmission and routing, and robustness and security in CR networks. Also, state‐of‐the‐art research on the economics of CR networks, CR simulation tools, testbeds and hardware prototypes, CR applications, and CR standardization efforts is summarized. Emerging trends on CR research and open research challenges related to the cost‐effective and large‐scale deployment of CR systems are outlined. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

MaxDiv: an optimal randomized spectrum access with maximum diversity scheme for cognitive radio networks

Cognitive radio network (CRN) is an emerging technology that can increase the utilization of spectrum underutilized by primary users (PUs). In the literature, most exiting investigations on CRNs have focused on how secondary users (SUs) can coexist harmlessly with the PUs. Despite the importance of such a coexistence issue, it is also crucial to investigate the coexistence of SUs because (i) the PUs usually rarely use the licensed spectrum and (ii) the advantages of CRN will significantly increase the number of SUs in the future. To address this challenging issue, we propose, in this paper, an optimal randomized spectrum access scheme, whose main ideas include the following: (i) an SU shares its sensing results with neighboring SUs and (ii) with the regional sensing results, an SU will access available channels with a non‐uniform probability distribution. We first formulate a multichannel optimal randomized multiple access (MC‐ORMA) problem that aims to maximize the throughput of the CRN; we then develop efficient distributed algorithms to solve the MC‐ORMA problem; we derive the closed‐form value of collision probability for each SU; and finally, we conduct extensive numerical experiments and compare our theoretical analysis with simulation results to demonstrate the advantages of our scheme.

Effective autocorrelation-based spectrum sensing technique for cognitive radio network applications

Spectrum sensing based on detection techniques enables cognitive radio networks to detect vacant frequency bands. The spectrum sensing gives the opportunity to increase the radio spectrum channels re-utilization. However, the main challenge in spectrum sensing is the simplicity of the considered detection approach and the amount of prior information needed to make an accurate decision. This paper proposes a novel sensing technique based on the autocorrelation function. This novel approach is based on the speed of convergence to zero of all autocorrelation coefficients. This technique shows the highest probability of detection for the same probability of false alarm target at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) compared with many standard detection techniques. The proposed method has been implemented using GNU Radio software and SDR (software-defined radio) platforms. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method under real scenarios.     

RSU-coordinated multichannel MAC protocol in vehicular ad hoc network

A road side unit (RSU)-coordinated multichannel media access control (MAC) (RMM) protocol was proposed in vehicular ad hoc network,which aimed to improve the transmission efficiency of non-safety messages.Under the coordination of RSU,nodes had more opportunities to make SCH reservations on control channel,and the contention-free message transmissions were thus realized.The proposed RMM protocol could use the service channel during the whole synchronization interval for non-safety message transmissions,and thus the saturated network throughput and channel utilization were improved,and the transmission delay was reduced.Compared with other existing protocols,extensive analysis and simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the RMM protocol.
