We propose a cooperative beamforming aided incremental relaying scheme to improve spectrum efficiency of cognitive radio systems. In this scheme, the source and relays can utilize cooperative beamforming to activate packet retransmission in busy timeslots or spatial spectrum holes, if the destination fails to receive the packets transmitted from the source. Therefore, cooperative diversity gain is...
Recent work has shown that distributed (or cooperative) beamforming can achieve cooperative gain, such as throughput gain and diversity gain, with no need for extra spectral holes in Cognitive Wireless Networks (CWNs). However, how to efficiently schedule cooperative beamforming to improve the quality of service of unlicensed secondary users has not been well addressed. In this paper, a simple opportunistic...
Cognitive radio (CR) is a powerful solution that can significantly improve the utilization of the precious limited radio spectrum. It allows secondary users (SUs) to opportunistically access spectral holes of the licensed spectrum without causing harmful interference to primary users (PUs). However, waiting for idle timeslots may induce very poor quality of service (QoS) for SUs. To alleviate this,...
Cognitive radio is a powerful solution that can significantly improve the utilization of the precious limited radio spectrum. It allows secondary users (SUs) to opportunistically access spectral holes in the licensed spectrum without causing harmful interference to primary users (PUs). However, the secondary communication opportunity becomes extremely poor when primary systems are heavily loaded....
With the proliferation of wireless multimedia applications, multicast/broadcast has been recognized as an efficient technique to transmit a large volume of data to multiple mobile stations at the same time. In most multicast systems, the transmitter (e.g., base station) adapts its data rate to the worst channel among all users in the multicast group, so as to guarantee service quality to each user...
This paper studies the error of the hybrid filter banks (HFB) due to analog realization errors. It is shown that the architecture of HFB is much more sensitive to even small analog imperfections. Therefore, the performance of HFB has a dramatic deterioration. In order to improve the performance, a method named central frequency is presented. The results show that the value of max aliasing function...
